Sakai Takayuki Kurokage VG-10 170mm Santoku
Crafted from VG-10 stainless steel, the Kurokage range from Sakai Takayuki have a distinct look and fine cutting ability. Grind is middle level, not too thin to overly worry but not so thick as to affect cutting performance much. This has to be a high contender as a first Japanese knife, easy to maintain and a very cool aesthetic.
