Tojiro Senkou knives are made in the Damask style by continually folding layers of soft and hard steel. High grade Japanese VG10 steel is worked with a softer steel with a higher carbon content.
The VG1O steel is very hard and can be sharpened to give a particularly fine edge.
The high carbon steel layer ensures that the knives do not become brittle.
