The Sakai Takayuki Coreless Damascus Stainless Steel Knives are made of VG10 & VG2 Damascus steel. The combination of VG10 & VG2 through a proprietary rolling technique reduces the carbide size and creates an extremely hard edge, allowing for a sharper edge along with significantly better edge retention than standard VG10 knives.
The designer handle is hand-crafted from black canvas-micarta that is also extremely durable. Combined with the full tang, this handle creates an incredibly well balanced knife with a very comfortable grip.
