Oak is a much harder wood, and the lacquering process seals the surface, making it more hygienic, easier to clean, and resistant to staining. It also provides a unique, sophisticated \"Urushi\" look common in high-end Japanese lacquerware.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"30\"\u003e\u003cb data-index-in-node=\"0\" data-path-to-node=\"30\"\u003eIs VG-10 steel difficult to sharpen?\u003c\/b\u003e No. VG-10 is one of the most user-friendly high-performance steels. It takes a very fine edge and holds it significantly longer than standard Western knives, yet it responds quickly to whetstones, making it ideal for those maintaining their own tools.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"31\"\u003e\u003cb data-index-in-node=\"0\" data-path-to-node=\"31\"\u003eWhy are the patterns on the handle slightly different?\u003c\/b\u003e Because each handle is hand-lacquered by an artisan, the way the lacquer interacts with the natural grain of the oak creates a unique finish for every knife.
