The Cobalt Apex is Juntetsu's precision-and-durability cobalt cutter — Takefu VG-10 cobalt steel shaped with a 45-degree convex edge and tip geometry reinforced specifically to resist the chipping that point-work can introduce. The cobalt variant holds its edge marginally longer than standard VG-10, and the reinforced tip means a stylist can commit to fine point cutting without babying the blade. Hand-finished in our Tokyo workshop across 124 steps, the Apex is the cobalt cutter for stylists whose technique lives at the tip of the blade.
