─── Core Steel ▪️ V-Toku No.2 ───
▸ High-purity alloy carbon steel with a composition close to Aogami No.2, with added Tungsten (W) and Vanadium (V)
▸ High carbon content (approx. 1.05%), reaching a hardness of HRC 62~64 with excellent hardenability
▸ The addition of Vanadium and Tungsten promotes the formation of fine carbides, providing superior wear resistance and edge retention compared to Aogami No.2
▸ Capable of forming an extremely thin blade geometry, delivering a smooth and crisp cutting feel
▸ Stable heat treatment with better sharpenability than some high-hardness carbon steels
▸ As a high-carbon alloy steel, it has low rust resistance; it must be kept dry and oiled regularly

☆【 Maintenance Precautions 】
The steel core oxidizes easily. After the surface is thoroughly dry, please be sure to apply a thin, even coat of food-grade maintenance oil (such as camellia oil or white mineral oil) to the blade to block moisture and prevent rust.
☆【 Professional After-Sales Maintenance 】
We offer professional kitchen knife sharpening services in-store to ensure your beloved knife remains in peak condition at all times.
▸ Avoid Extreme Hard Objects: Strictly prohibited from chopping frozen ingredients or hard bones to prevent blade structure damage, chipping, or nicking.
▸ No Machine Washing or Drying: Do not use dishwashers or dish dryers. High temperatures and strong detergents will damage the knife body and handle material.
▸ Standard Cleaning Process: After use, please hand wash with warm water and immediately dry thoroughly with a dry cloth or soft towel. Store in a ventilated and dry place.
❁【 Return and Exchange Standards Regarding Exterior Manufacturing Marks 】
The high-end kitchen knives sold in our store are authentic original products. Because the manufacturing process includes hand-grinding, sharpening, and sheath fit testing, minor micro-scratches on the blade surface are a "normal state from the original factory" and not quality defects. We strictly inspect all items before shipment. Perfectionists, please think twice before placing an order.
❁【 Friendly Reminder 】
The photos of this product are all taken from the actual product. However, due to shooting light, angles, or different brand monitor display settings, there may be slight color differences between the photos and the actual product. Buyers who are extremely sensitive to color differences, please consider carefully before placing an order. Product colors are subject to the actual item received.
