About the KC-940 Tsuchime VG-1 series:
Knives of this series feature Hon-Warikomi clad blades with a VG-1 core sandwiched by SUS410 stainless steel. This provides excellent edge-retention to a hardness of HRC 59-60. They are beautifully-hammered, mirror polish, tsuchime-finish blades. "Tsuchime", is a Japanese-style hammer finish and helps to release foods quickly from the blade while cutting, making the meal-prep process quicker and more efficient. Proudly made in Seki, Japan.
