Kohetsu VG-5 Tsuchime

Tsuchime is basically the word used for "hammered" in Japanese. These knives are clad with this unique hammered Tsuchime pattern, and use VG-5 steel on the edge that's heat-treated to 60 Rockwell. Light and easy to use, these knives will take a very nice edge and are easy to care for. The Western handles are made with black pakka wood with stainless steel bolsters. These are very nice knives indeed for their price range.
