Comfortable Handles With an Intricate Design

Part of what makes these implements showcase knives is the beautiful G-10 Wood handle, which gracefully rounds off the immaculate blade to offer an elegant, comfortable grip.

VG10 Steel Knives have an amazing history that dates back hundreds of years, and they incorporate forging techniques that have stood the test of time. They were originally manufactured hundreds of years ago in the Echizen Province of Japan, which was once the preeminent sword-making region of the world.


The forging process used for these knives was also used by chefs, but strictly within the borders of Japan. It's only recently that the expansion of trade in that part of the world has allowed the use of this superior kind of steel in limited batches.
