Italian Olive Wood
Italian Olive Wood is an ideal choice for knife handles, providing exceptional durability and moisture resistance due to its dense structure and natural oils.

Over time, the wood develops even more character, making it both a practical and luxurious addition.

Vacuum Heat Treated

The gold standard for knife treatment, vacuum heat treatment means each blade is precisely heated in a vacuum-sealed environment and cooled. This process enhances hardness, strength, and corrosion resistance, resulting in a sharper, longer-lasting edge while preserving the steel’s purity.

Hand Forged and Folded

Each blade is crafted by repeatedly heating, hammering, and folding steel layers by hand. This traditional process creates distinctive wavy patterns while enhancing the blade’s strength, toughness, and flexibility. The resulting even carbon distribution reduces impurities, resulting in a durable, long-lasting sharp edge.
