Dao Vua: Vietnamese Craftsmanship
For those who venture outside of Japanese-made kitchen knives, a brief internet search will quickly lead you to the brand Dao Vua. But who are they, and why have they taken the internet and market by storm? The story of Dao Vua and their kitchen knife price point is where it all begins.
The Humble Beginnings of Dao Vua
Here's the short and concise version of their origin story: Dao Vua knives are handmade in Hanoi, Vietnam, by skilled Vietnamese bladesmiths using high-quality materials. At this price point, these knives are seriously impressive in build and sharpness. However, they may not be for you if you struggle to take care of your knives. Being carbon steel, even with a kurouchi finish, they sharpen easily but also oxidize easily, so care should be taken to maintain a dry knife.
The Third Iteration: "V3"
With the third iteration of their knives, "V3," Dao Vua has addressed another concern users have sometimes had. If the metal used is from recycled materials, how can the consistency of the final product be assured? The V3 line uses 52100 carbon steel to improve material consistency. It seems like every time an end-user has a demand, it is met. What else would you like to see from this exciting Vietnamese knife company?
