VG10

　VG-10 is a hard, high-carbon stainless steel containing cobalt. This material offers excellent sharpness and abrasion resistance, making it popular among professionals. It is developed and manufactured by Takefu Special Steel Co., Ltd., a Japanese company. If the entire blade is too hard, it becomes difficult to sharpen. If the edge is too soft, it dulls quickly, and the sharpness diminishes rapidly. Therefore, the hard material (VG-10) is used only in the core, while the softer material is used on the sides. Due to VG-10's hardness, especially for professional use, a ceramic sharpening stone is recommended for efficient sharpening.

Note:
　While the VG-10 core and outer layers are rust-resistant, it is essential to wash, wipe, and thoroughly dry the knife after each use. Should rust appear, it can be removed using a cleanser or sharpening stone (minor scratches may occur). To prevent damage, avoid twisting the blade or striking hard surfaces. Do not use the knife to cut frozen foods or bones, as the thin Japanese blade, designed for exceptional sharpness, is susceptible to chipping or breakage. Due to the handcrafted nature of Japanese knives, minor scratches may be present.
