Tamahagane Knives made in Niigata Japan specialise in the use of VG-5 stainless steel to manufacture a fantastic range of traditional Japanese knives. VG-5 is similar to the more widely used VG-10 stainless steel but considered slightly easier to sharpen and better for edge retention. Tamahagane knives incorporate a 3 layer construction consisting of an inner core of the extremely hard VG5 steel for superior sharpness and strength, sandwiched between two softer layers of stainless steel for protection and flexibility. Available in Tamahagane Bamboo, Tamahagane San, Tamahagane San Tsubame ranges.
