These knives surprised me...

In this new style of first-use test, we take the Takayuki VG10 Nashiji knife series through a full out-of-the-box performance run. No sharpening, no touch-up — just strop, paper test, and straight into prep.

We tested the Takayuki VG10 Nashiji:

These San Mai knives feature a VG10 stainless steel core, a Nashiji (“pear skin”) finish, and an elegant tapered ebony (hex)octagonal handle. At $150–170, this is a line that punches way above its price point.

And honestly? We were expecting them to stick a bit — they’re thin, and many finishes like these tend to have some drag. But these glided through prep with excellent grinds and a matte finish that wasn’t grippy at all. Just smooth, confident cutting.
