{"title":"Sakai Takayuki VG10 Nashiji","description":"\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal\" dir=\"ltr\"\u003eThe VG10 Nashiji range from Sakai Takayuki combines a proven core steel with a distinctive hand finished exterior. Each blade uses san mai construction, a core of VG10 stainless steel hardened to around 60 to 61 HRC, clad in softer outer layers of stainless steel. This gives strong edge retention while keeping the blade easier to sharpen and more resilient than a mono steel construction of similar hardness.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal\" dir=\"ltr\"\u003eThe \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/cuttingedgeknives.co.uk\/collections\/finish-nashiji\"\u003eNashiji\u003c\/a\u003e name refers to the hammered, \"pear skin\" texture on the blade's face, applied by hand rather than left flat and polished.
