With a hardness of 60–61 HRC and a Japanese VG10 steel core, the knife delivers outstanding sharpness and durability. It weighs 593 g and has a blade length of 18 cm, providing excellent balance and control.

Ideal for precision work in the kitchen when cutting fruit, vegetables, and smaller pieces of fish and meat with great accuracy.

Exceptional Cutting Performance and Durability

The knife's 67 layers of Damascus steel are not merely visually impressive – they also give the blade a superb balance between strength and flexibility. The Japanese VG10 steel core has undergone an advanced hardening process at temperatures above 1,000 °C, followed by cooling to −180 °C. This process results in the high hardness of 60–61 HRC, meaning the knife stays sharp for longer and can be re-sharpened to its original edge time and time again.

Comfort and Control in Hand

The pakkawood handle provides a secure grip and excellent comfort, even during prolonged use. The material is both water-resistant and heat-resistant, ensuring the knife sits firmly in the hand under all conditions. The carefully considered weight distribution of 593 g gives the knife a fine balance that reduces wrist fatigue and increases your control. To preserve the quality of the handle, it is recommended that you oil it approximately once a month.
