Superior sharpness and durability

The knife's core made from Japanese VG-10 steel, with a hardness rating of 60-61 HRC, provides it with an exceptional ability to maintain a sharp edge over time. The 61 layers of Damascus steel surrounding the core not only contribute to the knife's distinctive and beautiful pattern but also enhance the blade's strength and resilience. This combination allows you to make precise cuts without frequent sharpening, saving time in a busy kitchen.

Perfect balance of comfort and control

The handle is crafted from ironwood (Desert Ironwood), one of the hardest types of wood in the world, which gives the knife a perfect balance.

FAQ

How do I maintain my Damascus knife?
Always wash the knife by hand with mild soapy water and dry it thoroughly after use. Avoid dishwashers, as they can damage both the edge and the handle. Store the knife in a dry place and regularly apply knife oil to the blade to prevent rust.

How often should I sharpen my VG-10 knife?
VG-10 steel retains a sharp edge for a long time, but exactly when it needs sharpening depends on usage frequency. For optimal performance, it is recommended to maintain the edge with a honing steel after about 8-10 hours of use, and a more thorough sharpening as needed when the knife starts to lose its sharpness.
