SharpEdge Etsu Village Damascus 6.7" Santoku Knife

Great to hear that! Keep your German knives for some more rougher tasks, as Japanese are more sensitive.. If you will ever give the old whetstones a try, we made a detailed video guide for knife sharpening with whetstones: sharpedgeshop.com/sharpening. Cheers!

Wow. Way cool. I have a santoku, Twin Signature. I am moving away from the German knives to the Japanese. I need to get a high class sharpening system, probably an Edge Pro 4. Then a Japanese santoku will be in my sights.

Thank you for explaining in detail what were your intentions. With your initial comment I could only conclude that you wanted to share the chemical structure of VG-1 steel, hence my response. Some knife users do like to see the chemical elements present in the steel, so I thanked you for sharing that. But I definitely agree that the comparison to its bigger brother, VG-10, makes more sense, so I created the comparison chart for you.
