takeshi saji VG10 Gold japanese knives feature a damascened blade, i.e. a rigid core enveloped by several layers of softer steel. This succession creates a unique visual pattern visible across the entire blade surface. The center of the blade is made of VG10 steel, a Japanese alloy considered top-of-the-range because of its reputation for performance and durability. This steel contains 1% carbon, giving it a hardness of 60 HRC on the Rockwell scale. The cutting edge is thus durably marked, avoiding the need for repeated sharpening. This core is then surrounded by several layers of softer steel: it is these layers that create the damascus finish. Damascus has both technical and aesthetic advantages! In fact, the pattern created is one-of-a-kind, giving the blade a totally new look. The damascus pattern on these Japanese knives is unusual in that it is distinguished by an attractive, slightly coppery color.

A PLEASANT ROSEWOOD HANDLE

Rosewood makes up the attractive handle of these kitchen knives. This exotic wood is renowned for its strength and resistance to humidity. In terms of color, rosewood has beautiful shades of brown with attractive darker veins. As wood is a living material, each handle is unique. The handle is extended by a bolster made of pakkawood, a composite material much appreciated for its strength and durability. It's made of resin and compressed wood: this blend is highly resistant to humidity, temperature variations and impact. The white bolster contrasts well with the dark blade and handle. Each knife comes in a beautiful wooden box: a perfect gift idea!
