Shimomura Unryu Santoku Knife VG10 Damascus Wood Handle 170mm UNR-01

This santoku knife from the Takumi UN-RYU series by Shimomura Kogyo has a blade length of 170 mm (6.7 in) and a blade thickness of 2.0 mm (0.1 in). Like a Japanese sword, soft and hard stainless steels are forged in alternating layers to create a graceful mist pattern.

The core is cobalt-containing VG10 steel, which is very hard and holds its edge for a long time. Craftsmen in Tsubame-Sanjo finish each blade with a traditional water-stone sharpening.

The stainless steel bolster has no seams, so it is hygienic and durable. The laminated reinforced wood handle is secured with sturdy full-tang rivets. Made in Japan.
