This medium-sized utility knife features a 70 mm double-bevel blade constructed from VG10 stainless steel using a Sanmai (three-piece) cladding method, where a hard core is forge-welded between softer stainless layers. The blade is finished in a Migaki polish and housed within a stainless steel scale handle, secured by a single rivet that allows the blade to pivot and lock via friction without a mechanical lock. Weighing 42 g, it retains the classic chikiri lever design originally refined in 1894 for thumb deployment.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eDesigned for delicate precision tasks such as peeling, trimming, and slicing fruits or vegetables, this knife suits household users and gift buyers seeking a characterful tool with stainless steel convenience. The VG10 core, hardened to 59–61 HRC, offers good edge retention and is sharpened on waterstones, while the full-stainless construction eliminates the rust concerns associated with traditional carbon steel versions. Care involves washing with neutral detergent and drying immediately, avoiding dishwashers or heat sources. As a non-locking folder, it is unregulated in many regions and pairs well with other traditional tools for light-duty work.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Iron Clad","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47897116246237,"sku":null,"price":89.95,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0287\/7227\/0217\/files\/DSC_5092.jpg?v=1778217073"},{"product_id":"higonokami-vg10-steel-folding-knife-medium-copy","title":"Higonokami VG10 Steel Folding Knife - Pocket","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe Higonokami VG10 Steel Folding Knife is a traditional friction folder produced by Nagao Kanekoma Factory in Miki City, Hyogo, Japan.
