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. The intricate grain and rich golden hues give each handle a unique look, and its solid feel ensures a well-balanced grip. Over time, the wood develops even more character, making it both a practical and luxurious addition.

AUS-10V Steel
Crafted from AUS-10V steel by Aichi Steel in Tokai, Japan, this blade features 1.05% carbon content for exceptional strength and durability. Its superior edge retention ensures a razor-sharp blade that lasts, making it ideal for precision work.

A Blade Made to Cut Close
At 2mm thick, the thin, narrow blade reduces drag, so you can slice cleanly without wasted effort.

Sharp, Pointed Tip for Precision
The 44° angled tip makes it easy to pierce tendons, cartilage, and tight joints without excessive force.

Comfortable, Secure Grip
The sloped bolster naturally guides your fingers into a comfortable, stable hold, helping reduce hand fatigue during longer prep sessions.

15° Dual Bevel
Hand sharpened to a precise 15° on each side, resulting in a razor-sharp edge that offers versatility for both right- and left-handed users.

Full Tang
A full tang runs the entire length of the knife, providing intentional weight and balance. This design keeps the knife lightweight yet strong, allowing you to trim fat, debone poultry, and fillet fish with ease while maintaining the agility needed for intricate knife work.

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
