V Gold 10, the Essential Core
コアメタル
Sitting at the pinnacle of chef-grade stainless steels, unsurpassed in rust resistance and peerless in edge retention, VG10 was the only choice for Essential blades.
Distilled from a combination of Carbon, Chromium and several other metals, VG-10 Steel with a Rockwell Hardness rating of 61, it is at once both durable and malleable, truly the gold standard.
A revolutionary convex blade
凸刃
A blade profile of exquisite sharpness and edge retention, made using a trade-secret unique to our manufacturing process, the hallmark Convex shape allows for the cleanest cut with every stroke, ensuring ingredients aren’t damaged through the cutting process and flavours are locked in.
On the Chef’s Knife this proprietary shape has been applied to not one, but three layers of VG10 steel. Sharpened through a process refined over generations, these are knives of pedigree.
Gifting, ties unsevered
縁起物
As is the long-held superstition, giving a knife severs ties. To prevent the accidental end of your relationships, we have included a small envelope inside each handmade Hinoki box.
Before gifting the knife, we encourage you to place a coin inside. Upon receiving the knife the recipient may then offer the envelope back to you as a token form of payment. This small act will ensure that all cutting remains solely in the kitchen.
