Santoku Damascus VG10 Ebony Wood Handle is forged around a VG10 stainless core wrapped in layered Damascus cladding, combining keen sharpness, elegant patterning, and controlled handling suited to daily prep. Proper heat treatment stabilizes hardness and refines grain structure for strong edge retention, while the stainless alloy’s chromium content supports corrosion resistance in humid, fast-paced kitchens. In use, the edge feels crisp and composed, sliding through produce and proteins with low drag and a clean, steady board feel.

Its Santoku geometry features a broad blade with a tapered spine and practical thinness behind the edge, promoting efficient push-cuts, short rocking motions, and clean slicing without wedging or tearing. The balanced profile improves knuckle clearance and predictable tracking, helping maintain safer technique and consistent, repeatable results across fine mincing and uniform portioning.

The Damascus exterior adds structural stability and wear resistance, while the ebony wood handle delivers a dense, warm grip that stays secure and comfortable through extended sessions. Built for durability, daily reliability, and refined performance, it offers lasting value for cooks who want craftsmanship that proves itself in every cut.

Hand wash, dry immediately, and store so the edge stays protected. The Damascus finish benefits from gentle cleaning, and the ebony handle should not be left wet and may be conditioned occasionally. Even with stainless steel, avoid leaving moisture, salt, or acids on the blade for long periods.

  • Store in a sheath, guard, or on a clean magnetic strip
  • Use a wooden or soft plastic cutting board
  • Condition the ebony handle occasionally with food-safe oil
  • Avoid the dishwasher
  • Avoid soaking in the sink
  • Avoid abrasive pads and powders that can scratch the finish
  • Avoid prolonged contact with salty or acidic foods
