On this santoku, that reference lives in the tsuchime hammered finish across the Damascus cladding: an irregular, faceted surface that shifts with the light rather than reflecting it evenly. The core steel is VG10, chosen for its edge retention and resistance to corrosion, layered within a Damascus body and ground to a double-bevel edge. Kamo Hamono has forged knives at Takefu Knife Village in Echizen City since the cooperative's founding, working within a cutlery tradition that the region has held for over 700 years. The handle on this version is stabilized figured maple, dyed purple, with a pale maple bolster — the color saturating deep into the wood grain without obscuring it. Each knife in the Juhyo series differs in handle material and finish. The blade is the constant.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Kamo Hamono","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53420912935226,"sku":"kmh030010202","price":365.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0707\/4499\/8202\/files\/KamoHamono_Juhyo_Santoku_Purple_5.webp?v=1779248344","url":"https:\/\/omakase-forest.com\/products\/kamo-hamono-vg10-tsuchime-damascus-juhyo-santoku-knife-purple-handle","provider":"omakase","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
