Why VG-10 Steel?
Developed in Japan, VG-10 ("Gold 10") stainless steel is renowned for its:
Exceptional hardness (60-62 HRC), allowing the blade to stay sharp longer
High carbon content, giving it cutting power comparable to carbon steel while retaining stainless properties
Superior corrosion and rust resistance, even in demanding kitchen environments
Toughness, reducing the risk of chipping while maintaining a fine, sharp edge
This makes it an ideal steel for professionals who need consistent, long-lasting performance.
Care Instructions:
Avoid cutting bones or frozen items to prevent chipping.
Hand wash with warm water; dry thoroughly with a towel.
Maintain sharpness with a whetstone or professional sharpening system.
Do not use a dishwasher - high heat and moisture can damage the blade and handle.
