Each Japanese knife stands out primarily for its blade, and the Oboro features a blade with exceptional sharpness that lasts for a long time without requiring special maintenance.
It consists of the innovative Japanese VG10 stainless steel alloy at its core, ensuring excellent hardness and durability. The VG10 is covered by two layers of soft stainless steel with 13% chromium content for easier sharpening and better knife protection.
Each Oboro is hand-sharpened by experienced Japanese craftsmen on both sides at 15°, so you receive an absolutely sharp knife.
Its hardness rating is 58 (±1) HRC (a knife with a hardness above 56 HRC is considered good).
