Sekiryu VG10 Damascus Micarta

Sekiryu VG10 Damascus Micarta

The Sekiryu VG Micarta Series brings together modern Japanese blade steel with durable, professional-grade handle construction. Designed for daily use in demanding kitchens, this range combines excellent cutting performance with a comfortable, secure grip.

At the core of each knife is a VG10 stainless steel cutting edge, known for its fine grain structure, high hardness and strong edge retention. The steel is easy to sharpen and maintains a keen edge for precision slicing, chopping and detailed work. The blades are typically ground thin behind the edge, allowing for smooth, efficient cutting with minimal resistance.

The handles are made from black Micarta, a composite material created from layers of linen bonded with resin under high pressure. This results in a dense, moisture-resistant handle that feels solid and slightly textured in the hand. Even during longer prep sessions, the handle remains stable and comfortable. The full tang construction enhances balance and durability.

With its understated aesthetic and practical design, the Sekiryu VG Micarta Series is well suited to both ambitious home cooks and professional chefs who value performance.
