VG-10 is a Japanese stainless steel known for its exceptional hardness, allowing the blade to seamlessly cut through almost any ingredient. The knife is stain-resistant for added peace of mind and comes with a traditional Japanese Wa-style handcrafted octagonal handle that is lightweight and ergonomically designed for seamless use.

A protective wooden sheath called Saya is included to protect the knife and adds to its appearance when not in use. Traditional Japanese knife making values a sharp edge, which requires attention and care. Sharpening and honing should be done with only water whetstones, and the knife should be hand washed and dried immediately if working with acidic ingredients. It should not be used on objects such as bones, nutshells, and frozen foods.
