Fukube Blacksmith | Black-finished Chef's Knife | 210mm | Black Lacquer Handle | VG10

Fukube Kaji Black-forged Chef's Knife, 210mm (VG10, Black Lacquer Handle) - A knife that embodies the traditions of Noto and the elegance of lacquer.

• Uses: This professional-grade 210mm gyuto knife boasts the versatility to cut meat, fish, vegetables, and all other ingredients. The blade's moderate length allows for smooth slicing, while the center of gravity is balanced for ease of use. This single knife is a foundational tool that can dramatically change the quality of your cooking, from everyday cooking to slicing chunks of meat and processing large vegetables.
• Material (Hybrid): The core material is made of VG10 (V Gold No. 10), a premium stainless steel. It combines exceptional hardness for sharp cutting edge with the rust resistance inherent to stainless steel. The black forged surface finish leaves traces of the forging process, allowing food to be easily separated, and provides a substantial appearance while also providing practical rust prevention.
• Maker and design: Each knife is forged with soul by the artisans of Fukube Blacksmithing, a company with over 100 years of history in Noto. The handle, its greatest feature, is made of natural wood coated with black lacquer. The lacquer's unique moist, gripping feel makes it non-slip even with wet hands, and the more you use it, the more it will conform to the shape of your hand and develop a deep luster.

"I want the sharpest cutting edge, but I don't want to have to worry about maintenance. And because it's a tool I use every day, I want to appreciate its beauty like a work of art." This chef's knife, a knife that will last a lifetime, fulfills such a luxurious wish, combining the wisdom of Noto with modern steel.
