The steel
Why VG10 Damascus?
Every Aiko blade has a precision-forged VG10 Japanese steel core wrapped in 67 layers of Damascus, so it takes a keen edge, holds it, and wears the feather pattern that makes it unmistakable.
-
67
Layers
Damascus steel folded around the core for strength, stain resistance and the feather pattern.
-
VG10
Japanese steel core
A high-carbon stainless steel prized for taking a fine edge and holding it.
-
N₂
Nitrogen-cooled
Cooled with nitrogen for extra hardness and flexibility, then hand-polished to a smooth edge.
-
Full
Tang
The steel runs right through the handle for balance, strength and control.

| Cutting feel | Effortless, clean cuts with light pressure | Tears and squashes soft food | Clean, but needs more force |
| Stays sharp | Nitrogen-cooled VG10 core keeps its edge for longer | Dulls quickly | Needs honing more often |
| Looks | Feather Damascus and a one-of-a-kind resin handle | Plain plastic handle | Classic, but plain |
| Value | 67-layer Damascus from $125.00 | Cheap, but replaced often | Premium prices for softer steel |

Avis des clients
Tellement satisfait de cet ensemble de couteaux en acier Aiko Dasmascus et de la pierre d'assistance. Ces couteaux sont super nets, sérieusement élégants, bien pondérés et conçus et se sentent construits pour durer toute une vie. Plus d'ensembles de couteaux bon marché. La peur de couper un doigt améliore la concentration et la capacité de cuisson! La livraison a pris un certain temps en raison de la forte demande et de l'expédition à l'étranger, je crois, mais un excellent prix avec remise et une transaction sans faute. Merci Santoku Knives! Tous mes vœux
Die Messer Sind Sehr Sehr Scharf und Super Verarbeitet. Die Griffe Aus Holz und Epoxide Sehen Einfach Wunderschön Aus, alors wie die Klingen Ach. Kann Ich Nur WeiterEmpfehlen!
Super couteaux avec lesquels travailler :)
Hautement recommandé à tout le monde.
Je viens de recevoir mes autres couteaux aujourd'hui qui s'accumulent bien pour l'ensemble complet, une grande artisanat et incroyable à regarder et à utiliser ne peut pas attendre qu'il soit terminé
Absolument le meilleur couteau que j'ai jamais possédé. Extrêmement net et bien équilibré le rend si facile à utiliser. Va certainement ajouter plus à ma collection

Good to know
Which Aiko set should I choose?
The 3-piece set (8" chef, boning and utility knife) covers everyday cooking. Bake your own bread? The 4-piece adds the bread knife. The 5 and 6-piece sets add the santoku and cleaver, and the 9-piece is the whole range. Every set costs less than buying the knives separately.
Can it go in the dishwasher?
No. Hand wash and dry it straight after use to keep the edge sharp and the resin handle looking its best.
How long does delivery take?
Shipping is free worldwide on every order. Most orders arrive within 7–10 business days; remote areas can take a little longer.
What if it’s not right for me?
You have 180 days to return it, as long as it's complete, undamaged and in its original packaging.
Is there a warranty?
Yes. Every Aiko knife is covered by our lifetime warranty.
