Material: VG10
VG10 stainless steel is celebrated for its exceptional quality and popularity among chefs. Known for its minimal impurities, VG10 maintains impressive hardness while being easy to sharpen and rust-resistant. Our blades, crafted from Japanese VG10, undergo a unique heat-treatment process that enhances durability and edge retention. This meticulous process contributes to the immense popularity of the SWORD FV10 Series among Japanese chefs, ensuring each knife delivers superior performance and longevity.
Forging Process: Full Steel
Our knives feature full steel, or mono-steel, blades, crafted from a single type of steel from spine to edge. This manufacturing process demands expert attention to prevent the blade from becoming overly brittle or warped. The result is a knife with consistent performance and superior strength.
While distinguishing high-quality mono-steel blades from lower quality ones can be challenging at a glance, our meticulous forging process ensures that each knife meets the highest standards of durability and precision, offering exceptional reliability for culinary professionals and enthusiasts.
Handle: Compressed Indigo Blue plywood handle with nickel silver brim
The FV10 handle features a classic European shape, enhanced with a luxurious Nickle Silver bolster instead of the usual stainless steel. This unique bolster, with its sweeping curve and amber-like shine, gives the knife an elegant and distinctive appearance.
While the Nickle Silver bolster requires occasional extra cleaning around the seams to prevent dirt buildup, it contributes to the handle's exceptional comfort.
Users frequently praise the handle's ergonomic design, which accommodates both large and small hands, ensuring ease of use and reducing hand strain during extended periods of cutting. The unique bolster design also makes the FV10 instantly recognizable.
