Hattori Forums FH Solid VG-10 Series Sujihiki (230mm to 300mm, 3 sizes, Black Linen Micarta Handle)

Quality at its finest!

I’ve bought this knife in April and it is one of my most priced possessions! It is so comfortable and retains it sharp edge, very sharp right out of the box.

Well-thougt and executed with exceptional care

Design, Fit&Finish, comfort, all at the highest level. As expected, I'd say. What I found the most interesting though was how the steel has been treated. We all know how crucial the Heat Treatment is, and with VG-10 it is probably more critical than with any other. I've sharpened a lot of VG-10 for others, with very different experiences. Here you find it at its best: hard, with a lot of bite, not the slightest brittleness, exceptional edge retention, AND surprising easy sharpening. In case you think you know the steel: you don't until you have tried Hattori's VG-10. A very serious contender.

Great Knife

Very pleased with the Hattori Sujihiki I bought. It is nicely balanced, beautifully finished, and very, very sharp. Completely satisfied.
