For these knives Sakai Takayuki uses many layers of Takefu Specialty Steel‘s signature VG10 and VG2 steels and laminate them using a proprietary rolling process. Reducing carbide size to the absolute minimum possible makes for a material with both higher attainable sharpness and toughness than normal VG10 steel.
NOTE:
VG10 steel are rust resistant though please wash, wipe and dry it up well after use. In case rust appears on the blade, use cleanser or sharpening store. (scratch may appear)
Don't twist edge and hit. Don't cut and hit frozen foods or bones, the edge will be chipped or broken since the blade of Japanese is thinner for sharpness.
