The VG10 Azure carries Juntetsu's core VG-10 platform under a distinctive azure-blue finish — a quiet color statement that reads as craft, not decoration. The standard offset handle, the convex edge, and the 60-62 HRC VG-10 steel are identical to the rest of the VG10 line, so the Azure is chosen for its presence rather than any performance difference. Available in the 5.5 to 7.0 inch range and hand-finished in our Tokyo workshop across 124 steps, the Azure is the VG10 Offset for stylists drawn to color as part of the craft statement.
