HomeTown Knives VG10 Sanmai Damascus Chef Knife

VG10 is a high-carbon stainless steel known for its ability to hold a razor-sharp edge significantly longer than standard kitchen knife steels. Because of its high hardness rating of 60 HRC, it requires less frequent sharpening, making it ideal for high-volume prep work.

The Damascus cladding serves a dual purpose. While it provides the distinctive layered look, it also protects the harder VG10 core, offering excellent corrosion resistance and durability against the rigors of a busy kitchen.

The thin hollow grind geometry reduces the surface area of the blade that touches food, which helps minimize drag and friction. This allows the knife to glide through ingredients with less resistance, resulting in cleaner, more precise slices.

No, this knife is not dishwasher safe. The high-heat environment and harsh detergents can damage the G10 handle and dull the precision-ground edge, so we recommend hand washing and drying it immediately after use.

The integrated bolster creates a seamless transition between the handle and the blade, which improves the overall balance of the knife. It also provides a comfortable pinch point for your fingers, offering better control and stability during extended cutting sessions.

G10 is a high-pressure fiberglass laminate that is virtually impervious to moisture, heat, and impact. Unlike wood, it will not warp, shrink, or crack over time, ensuring your grip remains secure and the handle stays hygienic even in wet kitchen conditions.
