Zhen Katsura Japanese Knife Series

Japanese knives are prized for their precise craftsmanship. These Zhen Katsura knives fit the mold, too. Made with three layers of forged Japanese stainless steel with a VG-10 core, they’re designed for a keen edge and good corrosion resistance. Because of the high hardness rating, the knives will hold their edge over time, requiring little sharpening if cared for correctly. The full-tang construction provides stability, allowing you to apply pressure on the spine when you need to. The handle comes in pakkawood or micarta (depending on the model you choose). The base price is for the 8-inch chef’s knife or the 7-ionch santoku with a VG-10 blade, but there are plenty of other blades available if you want an edge for more specific uses. To complete the package, each blade comes in a gift box.
