Shimomura Takumi Unryu Rin Santoku Knife VG10 Damascus 33 Layer

This santoku knife belongs to the Unryu series, crafted by artisans in Tsubame-Sanjo. The blade is finished with a traditional hon-togi hand-sharpening process that gives the edge a thin, smooth profile, designed to cut cleanly through food without crushing it.

The blade is forged by alternating soft and hard stainless steel in the manner of a Japanese sword, which creates a misty damascus pattern along the surface. Its core is VG10 steel with added cobalt, chosen for high hardness and an edge that holds up over time.

The handle is made from sugarcane-derived bio-polyethylene, an environmentally conscious material, and is shaped in an octagonal profile that sits comfortably in the hand.

The blade measures about 170 mm (6.7 in), with an overall length of about 305 mm (12 in), a blade thickness of about 2.0 mm (0.1 in), and a weight of about 135 g (4.8 oz / 0.30 lb).
