VG-10 is incredibly durable, high end stainless steel with a high carbon content that is made in Japan. This steel features 1% carbon content, which is double the carbon content of some other forged steel blades. VG-10 is commonly referred to as a "super-steel" material because of its overall strength and incredible edge sharpness. Additionally, it's about half the weight of German steel.

This knife is scary sharp! It is the perfect size for cutting fruits and herbs. The spine is rounded, so it is very comfortable in the hand, and the blade is very thin, so it just glides through soft ingredients. We love the handle design and how long this knife stays sharp before needing to be sharpened.

I have no complaints about this knife. It's a perfect option to use in the kitchen when butchering, small knife work, or cutting foods just before you plate.

This is the first time I have used very hard steel cutlery in the kitchen, and I now think that all those years using European softer steel -often with heavier blades- was a mistake. Overall, the far superior edge holding power and Japanese bevel is making vegetable prep easier. Although not labelled as a paring knife, this functions as a large version of one, and the handle is a pleasure to hold as well.
