Seki Kanetsugu Heptagon Wood VG2 Hammered Santoku - 170mm - Pakka Wood (heptagonal) Handle
Description
Kanetsugu have been creating samurai swords for more than 170 years. The detailed hammer-forged pattern on the blade reflect classic bladesmithing techniques, whilst the black pakka wood, heptagonal handle has traditional charm.
The core of the blade is made out of high quality stainless steel called VG2 which is clad between the layers of SUS410, a stainless steel with low hardening characteristic helps to prevent the cracking of the metal. Together, they build one of the most durable and long-lasting blades. A Heat treating technique combined with sub-zero cooling at -70 degrees Celsius creates extremely durable, flexible, unbreakable blades with superior edge holding ability.
