Introducing the pinnacle of Japanese craftsmanship and innovation - the Makoto Kurosaki VG-XEOS Santoku. Crafted by the legendary Makoto Kurosaki, a maestro in the world of knife-making, this blade is a testament to passion, precision, and perfection.
Makoto Kurosaki's fervor for sharpening is evident in every edge of this knife. Known for its unparalleled sharpness and exceptional edge retention, this Santoku stands as a beacon of excellence in the culinary world. The fame of the Kurosaki lineage isn't limited to Makoto alone; his younger brother, Yu Kurosaki, is another celebrated blacksmith. Their combined prowess and dedication to the craft led them to grace the front page of Japan's most renowned Knife Magazine.
The Secret of VG-XEOS Steel
In an era where cutlery demands have evolved beyond just sharpness, the need for rust-resistance, tenacity, and durability has never been higher. Enter VG-XEOS - a revolutionary steel that promises not just to meet, but to redefine these expectations.
"With changes in hygiene awareness and further diversification of dietary habits, cutlery is required not only to be sharp, but also to be rust-resistant and tenacious, with high levels of contradictory characteristics such as hardness/strength and corrosion resistance. We have developed a new grade of steel for blades that combines high corrosion resistance and high hardness at a high dimension, which had been difficult to achieve in the past, with a fine microstructure created by a special melting method that improves wear resistance, strength, and quenching properties. A newly developed material that combines corrosion resistance and hardness (X). A new steel grade that heralds the dawn of a new stage in cutlery. (EOS) This is VG XEOS."
The proprietary undisclosed formula of VG-XEOS steel sets a new benchmark in the world of cutlery, making this Santoku a must-have for every culinary enthusiast.
