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 €79,95 | Cheap, but replaced often | Premium prices for softer steel |

Klantrecensies
Zo blij met deze Aiko Dasmascus stalen messenset en whetstone. Deze messen zijn super scherp, serieus elegant, goed gewogen en vervaardigd en voelen zich gebouwd om een leven lang mee te gaan. Geen goedkope messensets meer. Angst om een vinger af te snijden verbetert de concentratie- en kookvermogen! De levering duurde een tijdje vanwege de hoge vraag en overzeese verzending, geloof ik, maar een uitstekende prijs met korting en een foutloze transactie anders. Bedankt Santoku Knives! Het allerbeste
Die messer Sind Sehr Sehr Scharf und Super Verarbeitet. Die Griffe Aus Holz und Epoxid Sehen Einfach Wundeschön Aus, So Wie Die Klingen Auch. Kann ich nur weiterempfehlen!
Geweldige messen om mee te werken :)
Sterk aanbevolen aan iedereen.
Ik heb net mijn andere messen ontvangen vandaag die je goed opbouwt voor de volledige set, geweldig vakmanschap en geweldig om naar te kijken en te gebruiken kan niet wachten tot het is voltooid
Absoluut het beste mes dat ik ooit heb gehad. Extreem scherp en goed uitgebalanceerd maakt het zo gemakkelijk te gebruiken. Zal zeker meer toevoegen aan mijn collectie
Zeer goede kwaliteit, handvat is goed gemaakt, kan helemaal geen fort in het mes vinden, bedankt

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.
Ready when you are
Bold red. Brilliant edge. Yours to keep.
Bring it home and feel the difference on your very first chop.
