VG-1 steel is clad into a softer layer of stainless steel, where visible traces of hammer are left to give it a unique look. Compared to VG-10, VG-1 is slightly tougher steel, but with a bit less wear resistance. Due to a very thin grind, VG-1 steel is exposed at the very bottom of the blade (the curvy, hamon-like line). This knife was forged to a hardness of around 60 HRC, which offers a satisfying edge retention and is easy to resharpen.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis Santoku was fitted a yo-style, Western-type handle made of mahogany wood, and features a stainless bolster.

Like all gyuto's (Chef's knives), it's a general purpose knife for all kinds of tasks. Due to its curved belly, it will do best at rocking and push-pull cutting moves, but not so much at chopping.

The looks on TOJIRO's new line is simply stunning - you'll marvel at the beautiful hammer dents on the top of the knife which were left unpolished to give the knife the kuro-uchi finish.

They fell in love at first sight and wanted to celebrate their love with a wedding, so Nagini asked Sakuya’s father for her hand in marriage. Her father offered him his older daughter instead, rock-princess Iwa-Nagi, but Nagini turned him down. His heart belonged to Sakuya-hime so they got married anyway, despite her father’s opposition.

They retain the handiwork and traditional craftsmanship that is passed down from generation to generation while striving for the ever-new knowledge and innovation. Despite the fact that they make knives according to the traditional methods, they follow the modern technological guidelines in the field of metallurgy, material processing and innovations in production processes.
