SWORD-FV10 Series Our SWORD-FV10 Series is our best-selling series, overcoming the opinion that "stainless steel knives are inferior to carbon steel ones in sharpness and edge retention." We use VG-10 stainless steel for these knives, known for its extreme hardness and similar characteristics to other steels that cut well. However, good steel alone does not make a good knife. To make the most of VG-10 steel, we fill this knife with the true essence of knifemaking: tempering without reducing hardness, removing distortions from the single-steel blade to prevent cracking, and thinning the blade out with a whetstone. Many chefs have fallen in love with the sharpness our SWORD-FV10 line provides, buying the entire line after just using one. This is the pinnacle of our knife manufacturing, research, and hard work. Explore the SWORD-FV10 Series Granton Edge – What Are the Dimples on the Blade? The Granton edge means the blade with dimples on both sides. The dimples let the air enter into gaps between them and the food, which make the knife cut through the food more easily and smoothly. Find how a dimpled knife differs from a non-dimpled one in actual use from the video below (English subtitles available).
