Combining excellent grinds, impeccably treated VG10 core stainless steel, and a beautiful Suminagashi finish, the TOJIRO BASIC VG10 DAMASCUS line of knives offered here is a phenomenal value. It is hard to find this much performance in a kitchen knife at such a low price point and, as such, we highly recommend this line of knives for those taking their first foray into the world of high-performance Japanese steel.
