Takamura Migaki 170mm Japanese Santoku Knife

Description: FREE HAND SHARPENING SERVICE, PLEASE READ FOR DETAILS! Up for sale is a Takamura Migaki VG10 170mm Santoku knife. Santoku are Japanese general purpose kitchen blades, much like the Gyuto and Western chef's knife, and are adept at cutting a wide variety of foods. They are extremely popular with home and pro users. Takamura is known for producing beautifully made knives, using some of the most advanced steels available on the market. Their fit and finish is amongst the best I have personally seen on Japanese knives, at any price. The 170mm Takamura VG10 Migaki Santoku is laser thin, perfectly balanced, and razor sharp right out of the box. The VG10 Migaki line from Takamura is just about identical in finish, dimensions, and most other aspects to their more famous R2 Migaki line. The main visual difference between them is the black laminate handle of the VG10, as opposed to the red sported by the R2. VG10 is one of the original Japanese "super steels" that has been around for a while, and proven itself well. This steel is fairly easy to sharpen to a wicked edge, has great edge retention, and is also very stain resistant. The cutting core of the Takamura 170mm VG10 Migaki Santoku is wrapped in a softer stainless steel cladding for toughness. These knives just fly through foods with no effort!

Most Japanese hand finished knives may have some minor scratches, dings, or imperfection on the blade or handle. This is normal and not out of the ordinary. The boxes for these knives are somewhat more fragile than those of other models, and especially susceptible to picking up rubbing marks and dings when shipped from Takamura. Pictures are of the exact model of knife, but not the individual example of knife for sale. Please look at the photos carefully, as they are part of the item description. There will be slight variation in handle color/pattern. It is no longer practical for me to list every knife in my inventory individually, but if requested, I'll try to send more specific pictures. I will package the knives to the best of my abilities, and ship them out within 1-2 days after payment is received.Please do not hesitate to contact me with inquiries!
