First Impressions

The quality finish and impressive edge right out of the box perform well and immediately you'll know it'll be a knife you'll reach for time and again.

Beauty

We love a well finished damascus blade and the matte damascus pattern running down to the darker grey edge and vg10 core steel are great.

Paired with a brown and black pakka wood handle with white spacer there's no doubt this is a great looking range from Suncraft if you want something with a bit of wow.

In Hand

Light and well balanced, the finishing around the heel/finger groove is smooth and rounded off nicely so it's very comfortable in hand.

Durability

VG10 is widely used in Japanese knives because it's easy to care for, durable and maintains an edge well and so you can expect the black damascus knives to perform and last well.

Ease of Care

Easy to look after, the stainless core and cladding mean just folow the normal care instructions and your knife will last you as long as you need it.

Our Verdict

Great value - Suncraft make quality knives and their attention to detail and finishing quality are impressive so if you're looking for an easy to maintain VG10 knife with looks and impressive out of the box sharpness then this collection should definitely be on your radar.
