This sujihiki is made from the ever-popular VG-10 stainless steel, sometimes called V-Gold 10, arguably the most commonly used stainless alloy in the Japanese kitchen knife industry. Its exceptional stain resistance and ability to take a very sharp edge are the primary reasons for that popularity, and while some VG-10 knives can prove harder to sharpen than other steels, Takayuki smiths have developed a special tempering technique that results in a hardness of 60 HRC while keeping the blade genuinely easier to sharpen.
For many home cooks, the 240mm sujihiki becomes their go-to slicing knife - the blade glides through steaks and carves chicken and turkey with ease, the knife reached for time after time, task after task. This is a great-looking knife that is a breeze to maintain, performs like a champ, and comes at an affordable price.
Care Instructions: VG-10 is a fully stainless steel - low maintenance and resistant to corrosion. Hand wash and dry after each use. Avoid the dishwasher. Sharpen on quality water stones as needed.
