## Blade Sakai Takayuki VG-10 Honyaki Shoryu
The blade is made from VG10 steel. VG10 steel is known for being a very hard steel, but also easy to work with. An experienced blacksmith can sharpen the blade very thin and razor-sharp. It is corrosion resistant, but can quickly show signs of pit corrosion with very corrosive ingredients such as lemon. So clean it by hand after use and properly dry it. Always make sure the knife is dry before you store it in the Saya sheath.
## Handle Sakai Takayuki VG-10 Honyaki Shoryu
The knife is enhanced with a traditional octagonal handle made from Wenge wood. This is a very dark and incredibly strong wood from East Africa. Because of its solidity and high hardness the wood can properly handle water. This remarkable type of wood is enhanced with a nice pattern of dark-brown and black lines. The crop is made from black buffalo horn. In addition to it looking graceful, the crop also ensures that the knife is perfectly balanced. Take into account that wood and horn are natural products. The product you receive may differ with regard to pattern and colour. The materials used remain the same.
