Review: Very Sharp - This is a great chief knife at a great price. The quality is very solid and the knife is extremely sharp. The design and markings on the knife makes it look absolutely beautiful. The knife is easy to handle and grips well for safety. A must have in the kitchen and doesn't break the bank.
Review: Amazing lifelong set of knives, you'll never need another! VERY SHARP!!! - Absolutely gorgeous quality, meticulous details, well balanced and insanely sharp!!! Be extremely careful when using these knives they require very minimal pressure to cut. If your accident prone please have a 1st aide kit with hemostatic powder to stop bleeding on hand. That said the handles are ergonomic and help with control of the blade as well as grip fatigue. These knives make a wonderful gift that will last a lifetime if properly maintained. Might be a little costly to get the entire set all at once but will save you money in the long run and make a wonderful show piece in your kitchen. The packaging they come in is pristine and elegantly artful I almost want to keep them in the packaging!

## Questions & Answers

**Q: Where is this knife made/assembled?**
A: KYOKU uses Japanese VG10 steel imported from Japan, with the traditional Japanese Damascus knife manufacturing technology, and then handcrafted in China. VG10 steel production volume is limited due to various factors, however KYOKU's factory has tried the best to satisfy the needs every year so that we can handcraft each and every knife with Japanese made VG10 steel in China.

**Q: What is the best method for sharpening this blade or other damascus blades? Is it better to frequently strple.it against a sharpening rod or?**
A: VG10 steel will not "roll" it's edge like sotfter steel, so a honing rod will do next to nothing.  The only way to sharpen hard steels are to use sharpening stones that are made for high-quality cutlery.  VG10 keeps its edge extremely well so for the home chef you may only need to put it to a stone twice a year.  
    A 1000 grit stone is course enough to remove very small chips from the edge, which are very easy to get with VG10. But to just bring back the razor edge a 5000-8000 grit stone is ideal.

**Q: Does it have "made in china" stamped anywhere on it?**
A: made in China usually means "junk" and supports the Chinese Communist Party. I don't buy anything made in China. Look at Swiss or German made

**Q: can I purchase a sheath for an already owned knife?**
A: It would be cheaper to get the knife dimensions and buy a generic sheath 
I still have the original one  but for a kitchen knife I wouldn’t spend too much on a custom Sheath

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Very nice quality for the price.
*by A***S on November 3, 2025*

Can’t tell you anything from experience because I bought this as a gift. What I can say is that the knife I received is beautiful, had zero flaws, is a nice hefty weight, and came extremely sharp. If this is truly vg10 steel then this is a fair price for a knife this well made.
