Superior cutting ability through advanced steel manufacturing
The 240 mm long blade made of 67 layers of Damascus steel merges sharpness with wear resistance. The VG10W core is an enhanced version of traditional VG10 steel, with the addition of tungsten increasing both hardness and strength after forging. With a hardness of 62 HRC, this knife retains its sharpness longer than standard knives, reducing the need for frequent sharpening. The hammered surface with a mirror finish minimizes resistance during cutting, preventing ingredients from sticking to the blade.
