This knife uses a core forged from 10 Cr15 Mov Damascus Japanese steel with a declared hardness of 62 HRC, balancing edge retention with corrosion resistance and wear resistance. The forging process emphasizes a very sharp edge, with metallurgy designed to maintain performance through repeated use. It balances stiffness and flexibility to resist chipping. Unlike laser-etched patterns, the blade is real Damascus steel, formed by layering carbon steel and applying rigorous heat treatments with repeated folding and forging until the distinctive layered pattern appears, then polished to reveal the weave. An aggregate of 67 layers contributes durability, toughness, and resistance to wear, supporting longer use under demanding kitchen conditions. The 67-layer stack also contributes uniform lateral thinning that helps maintain constant cutting geometry. The handle is a frosted glass fiber G10, chosen for its solid feel and comfortable grip, designed for a balanced, ergonomic feel that supports precise control during slicing, mincing, and chopping. The grip remains comfortable even after extended use and washing. Taken together, the construction aims to provide steady responsiveness, easy maintenance, and dependable performance for daily cooking tasks, from delicate knife work to more robust prep, while preserving the blade's geometry and edge across repeated sharpening.
