SETSUKI VG10 Solid steel Kiritsuke 330mm
One Side Mirror Finish, with sori (curved blade)


[Blade & Steel]
This SETSUKI VG10 Solid steel Kiritsuke is forged from mono-steel VG10 stainless steel in a honyaki-style construction, giving it high hardness and a very fine edge. VG10 is a premium Japanese high-carbon stainless steel that combines the keen edge and sharpness of carbon steel with the corrosion resistance of top-grade stainless steels, offering excellent edge retention and durability. 
Once the edge is properly set, it holds its sharpness for a long time, delivering outstanding slicing performance service after service.

[VG10 Line Features]
Every knife in the Setsuki VG10 line is full VG10 mono-steel with a mirror-polished kanji-engraved face. By stripping away brand premiums and pricing these knives purely for the quality of the blade itself, they make an ideal base for pairing with your favorite custom handle.

[Cutting Performance & Maintenance]
VG10 is a hard, tough stainless steel, so once sharpened it is slow to dull yet very resistant to rust and staining. 

This makes day-to-day care extremely easy—simply rinse, wipe dry, and store. Thanks to its all-stainless construction, it also helps prevent discoloration and off-flavors on delicate ingredients such as tuna and other very fresh fish.

[Blade Geometry & Sori]
This particular piece features a gentle sori (blade curvature), giving it a smooth, confident draw cut and a very comfortable feel on the board, while the Kengata / Kiritsuke tip offers precise control for detailed work. 
 
[Handle Options]
When you purchase this blade together with one of our separate handle products (custom handles), the handle will be professionally fitted and the knife will be shipped to you fully assembled. If you do not add a separate handle to your order, the knife will be shipped with our standard black pakkawood handle.

[Full Mirror-Polish Upgrade]
If you choose the full mirror-polish upgrade as an additional option, your order will be processed through our polishing partner. The blade will be mirror-finished there and then shipped directly from the partner workshop to the shipping address you specified at checkout.


The handles sold by Chef Partners are different from the cheap handles made in Pakistan or India. They are the very same handles supplied to well-known Japanese brands. Once you use them, you will immediately notice the difference in quality.
