Material Introduction:
⭕️V-Toku 2: With a hardness of HRC 62–64, V-Toku 2 is a high-purity alloy carbon steel developed by Takefu Special Steel, based on the well-known Blue Paper Steel #2. It features a very similar composition but includes added tungsten (W) and vanadium (V), along with improved refining processes for fewer impurities and finer grain structure.
🌸Features & Performance
High carbon content (~1.05%) allows excellent hardness and heat treatment response.
Vanadium and tungsten promote fine carbide formation, improving wear resistance and edge retention beyond Blue #2.
Outstanding cutting performance: enables extremely thin blades for smooth and precise cutting.
Good workability: stable heat treatment and easier sharpening compared to some high-hardness carbon steels.
As a high-carbon alloy steel, it has lower corrosion resistance and requires proper drying and regular oiling.
Knife Model Introduction:
⭕️Wagyu Knife: A professional Japanese knife designed for slicing and preparing beef, especially premium Wagyu. Its long blade enables clean, smooth, and continuous slicing, making it ideal for large cuts of meat. The blade design ensures precision while preserving the texture and presentation of the meat.
It is widely used by professional chefs and increasingly popular in home kitchens, particularly among enthusiasts who require precise meat preparation. Handle and blade materials vary, commonly featuring carbon or stainless steel blades paired with wood or composite handles for comfort and control.
