Our "JCK Natures" house brand knives have proven to be some of JCK’s most popular knives. Each one of them has a unique appearance, fine characteristics and offers great value for money. Our JCK Natures Knives are a fusion of the craftsman’s special artistic techniques and the magnificent scenery of almighty nature. At the beginning of the year 2020, these JCK Natures 青雲 "Blue Clouds VG-10 Tsuchime Damascus" knives have finally been finished, and we are very excited to introduce and offer these new products to you. The "Blue Clouds" knives have an impressive mirror polished blade with a Tsuchime Hammered Texture and total of 33 beautiful Damascus layers. The rust-resistant VG-10 High Carbon Stainless Steel blade core is clad with many layers of beautiful Damascus. Heat treated to HRc. 60-61, the double bevel edged blade has a 50/50 symmetrical grind. The Sophisticated Royal Blue-Purple Pakka Wood Handle Scales beautifully match the mirror polished Kiritsuke blade, they are also strong and resist both water and shrinkage. The combination of the stylish blade and attractive blue handle reminded me of a beautiful, expansive sky and clouds, hence the name "Blue Clouds" 青雲.
We especially recommend our JCK Natures "Blue Clouds" Knives to customers who are considering buying their first Japanese knife and want to own a moderately priced, high quality, practical, attractive and very fashionable knife.
The tall blade and rounded nose / tip of the Santoku make it a versatile knife that is well suited to cutting meat, fish, or vegetables; Hence it’s name, which literally means “Three-purpose”. The Santoku is often recommended as a multi-purpose kitchen knife.

However, both right and left hander can use the knives that have double bevel edge sharpened 50/50 without problems.
We believe quality and performance of Japanese knives are best in the world and hope you enjoy fine craftsmanship and spirits from your new knife. With proper cares, every Japanese knife can be your special cooking partner for long time.
