Made by Hokiyama Hamono, these knives are marketed under different names. They are a nice affordable option and a great bang for the buck. 

VG10 is stainless steel from Takefu, Japan. Given the high requirements it fulfils, the "G" is an abbreviation for "Gold," and the "10" distinguishes it from VG1, its predecessor. Because of its high carbon content (1%), VG10 is superior steel for knife blades.


Use & Care

  • Do not attempt to cut, hit or chop frozen products or bones. The blade can chip or break with improper use.
  • Hand wash with warm water and towel dry. Never put the knife in a dishwasher, nor soak it. Ever!
  • Use a sharpening stone to maintain the sharpness of the blade. 
  • Do not use on hard melons or items that may torque the blade.
