Harukaze VG1

This Harukaze line is built around VG1, a fully stainless steel with no cladding, ground thin enough across the lineup to earn the laser label many cooks look for. A 2mm spine and a flat grind that stays thin right behind the edge carry through the whole range, from the gyuto down to the petty. VG1 is easy to maintain and resists corrosion well, making this a low fuss way into a genuinely thin, fast cutting Japanese knife.
