AUS-10 is a stainless steel produced by Aichi Steel, located in Tokai City, Aichi Prefecture. AUS-10 offers a balance of high cutting edge retention and high corrosion resistance, resulting in a sharp and easy to maintain blade. The AUS-10 version of the AUS steel series is of higher quality than the others due to its carbon content of 1.05%.
AUS-10 is a steel comparable to VG-10. It has better wear resistance, but is slightly less hard. It is less likely to break under impact and twisting than the average Japanese steel. However, it is more likely to bend or twist. It is therefore the perfect steel for knives suggested to people who have less experience with Japanese blades.
Futana is the name of a line of Hitohira's house knives. As with all products that carry Hitohira's trademark (ひとひら (一片)), a high standard of quality is assured. Under the name of Futana you will be able to find knives of any profile made of stainless or semi-stainless steel. In addition, you will be able to find these blades with several different types of finishes; nashiji, kurouchi, damascus etc.

Guarantee
Guarantee
Each knife is guaranteed for life for obvious issues related to the manufacturing of the product. For example, if the handle becomes loose or cracks after a few weeks of adequate use. Or if the blade has a crack from the edge to the column of the blade. These problems are rare, but can occur. In which case you will be offered an exchange for the same product or a refund. As each case is different, it is at our discretion to assess whether our lifetime warranty for obvious manufacturing issues applies.
