Understanding Japanese Knife Steel

AUS-10 Stainless Steel

High-carbon Japanese stainless steel with excellent edge retention and corrosion resistance. AUS-10 is easier to sharpen than VG-10 while maintaining a sharp edge longer than AUS-8.

VG-MAX Steel

Premium Japanese steel with added vanadium for superior edge retention and wear resistance. VG-MAX offers the perfect balance of sharpness, durability, and ease of maintenance.

AUS-8 Stainless Steel

Versatile Japanese steel that balances sharpness with ease of sharpening. AUS-8 is slightly softer than AUS-10, making it more forgiving and easier to maintain for home cooks.
