Question 1

Can this knife stay sharp?

Accepted Answer

These knives claim to be made from VG-10 steel, which is normally hardened to RHC62 for use in knives.  These knives also claim they're RHC58.  That 4-point difference is hardness should concern a potential buyer.  In fact, it should make them run.

Question 2

Is this single or double bevel?

Accepted Answer

This is a double bevel knife! If you know anything about Yanagibas, you know that this is a huge flaw? All quality yanagibas have a single bevel. The second bevel is so deep that it would be nearly impossible to grind it down to a single bevel without destroying it. Do not buy this low-quality knife!!!

Question 3

Vg10 knives are only made in japan. some say the knife is german steel. some say made in china. the ad clearly says vg 10. which is it?

Accepted Answer

This is the best answer I have for you. Mine says 2 layer Japanese steel which is As I understand it a Japanese process on combining 2 different steels to make the prefect Sushi knife.  They could take 2 German knife grade steels and combine them in Japan to make the VG-10.  I know that my knife is by far the best Sushi knife I have every tried.  I use it multiple times a week.  One of my reasons for not making sushi at home was finding the prefect knife.  That excuse is now gone.
