This is the Custom Limited Edition and result for making one of a kinds, Custom Limited Edition Sukenari VG-XEOS Nickel Damascus Wa Gyuto 240mm Knife.
VG-XEOS is the newest steel from Takefu Special Steel company, and it represents something that knife makers have been working toward for a long time — a stainless steel that truly holds its edge.
Master Hanaki of Sukenari has spent his career with VG-10, one of Japan's finest stainless steels. He knows better than anyone what it takes to bring out the best in VG-10 stainless blade. When Takefu Special Steel company developed VG-XEOS, he recognized its potential immediately. Built on the same tradition as VG-10 but taken further, VG-XEOS delivers edge retention that feels closer to a carbon steel knife — without the rust concerns. It is more corrosion-resistant than VG-10, easier to maintain, and simply stays sharp longer.
Master Hanaki has heat-treated the VG-XEOS core to HRc. 61 (±1), drawing out the steel's full potential for sharpness, toughness, and lasting performance.
The VG-XEOS core is forge-welded with a Nickel Damascus cladding, made with alternating layers of Nickel Steel and Stainless Steel. The blade is mirror polished to a beautiful finish, where the bright white of the Nickel Steel layers contrasts vividly against the glossy silver of the Stainless Steel — each knife unique in its pattern.
This Sukenari VG-XEOS Nickel Damascus Wa Gyuto 240mm is fitted with a Innovative Octagonal Carbon Fiber Handle with Composite Black Color Turquoise Gemstone Ring and Nickel Silver Spacers. For safekeeping, this knife comes with a matching Black Lacquered wood Saya (Sheath) with a stylish Silver Stainless Steel Saya Pin.
The Gyuto is the Japanese version of the classic Western Chef’s knife. It can be used with a variety of different cutting techniques to achieve a wide range of kitchen tasks and is suitable for cutting the vast majority of meats, fish, vegetables and fruits. The Gyuto is true multi-purpose knife.
