An Absolute Kitchen Workhorse

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.

AUS-10V Steel

Crafted from AUS-10V steel produced by Aichi Steel in Tokai, Japan, this blade boasts a 1.05% carbon content, making it exceptionally strong and durable, with impressive edge retention for long-lasting sharpness.

Superior Edge Retention

With a rating of 60-62 on the Rockwell hardness scale, knife is long-lasting, durable, and corrosion, chip, and stain-resistant.

15° Dual Bevel
