VG10 steel production volume is limited due to various factors, however KYOKU's factory has tried the best to satisfy the needs every year so that we can handcraft each and every knife with Japanese made VG10 steel in China. **Q: Is this a full tang knife?** A: Yes, it's a full tang knife. **Q: are these knives for lefties?** A: Please, the handle is ambidextrous? The blade is the real question! Is the blade symmetrical, as in, is the blade sharpened with a final tapers on both sides of the blade allowing both lefty's and righty's to equally make an easy cut. If the blade is tapered on only one side it will usually favor a righty. The lefty's, 10% of the population, will not find it as easy to cut with that knife as a righty. In fact most lefties have been life long compensating for that 90% of people not being in their right mind! **Q: Is this knife forged or stamped?** A: They are forged. Awesome knives. ## Frequently Bought Together - KYOKU Chef Utility Knife - 6" - Shogun Series - Japanese VG10 Steel Core Forged Damascus Blade - with Sheath & Case - Kota Japan 12 In Diamond Carbon Steel Professional Knife Sharpener Rod Kitchen Home Or Hunting Master Chef Hunter Or Home Gourmet Blade Sharpening Rod Or Stick Silver - KYOKU Damascus Non-Serrated Steak Knives Set of 4 - Shogun Series - Japanese VG10 Steel - with Sheath & Case --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.vu/products/256480785-kyoku-chef-utility-knife-6-shogun-series-japanese-vg10-steel](https://www.desertcart.vu/products/256480785-kyoku-chef-utility-knife-6-shogun-series-japanese-vg10-steel) --- *Product available on Desertcart Vanuatu* *Store origin: VU* *Last updated: 2026-05-07*
