Blade Hardness
HRC (Rockwell Hardness) measures how hard the blade's steel is. Kitchen knife steel typically falls in the high-50s to mid-60s on this scale. Harder steel is built to hold a fine edge over long use, while softer steel favors flexibility and easy resharpening. The right HRC depends on the steel and design, not a single higher-is-better number.
Stain Resistant
This steel resists rust and staining from moisture and acidic foods, making it easy to maintain with routine care.
Saya Cover
This knife comes with its saya cover included at no additional cost, shaped to its exact blade for the same custom fit customers pay extra for on other knives.

The Yoshihiro VG-10 Hammered Damascus Knife Set is a premium Japanese collection handcrafted from 46 layers of Damascus steel surrounding a VG-10 stainless core. Renowned for its balance of sharpness, durability, and elegance, this set has earned its place as a best-seller among both home cooks and professionals. Each blade is forged and sharpened in Japan by experienced artisans, ensuring exceptional performance straight out of the box.
Designed for versatility, this set covers the full range of kitchen prep. From the Gyuto for all-purpose slicing and chopping, to the Petty for precision work, the Sujihiki for clean slicing, and the Santoku, Nakiri, and additional Gyuto sizes for specialized tasks, each knife is engineered for control, speed, and efficiency in the kitchen.
The blades feature a hammered finish that highlights their hand-forged character while reducing drag and minimizing food sticking. Paired with traditional octagonal Wa-style handles crafted from ebony wood, each knife offers a natural, ergonomic grip that feels light and responsive even during extended use. A Magnetic Maple Wood Saya cover is included to protect the blades and complete the traditional Japanese presentation.
Sharpened to a precise edge, each knife is ready for serious use, but like all high-quality blades, they require care. Hand wash and dry immediately after use, and sharpen only with water stones. Avoid hard materials such as bones, frozen foods, and nutshells to preserve the edge.
