【New Japanese Damascus steel】Forged 69-layer construction with a T-CO steel core provides excellent toughness, strength, and durability. The core is flanked by 2 layers of nickel alloy for added corrosion resistance.
【Exceptional sharpness and edge retention】The T-CO core has a higher carbon content than AUS-10 or VG-10 and boasts a hardness of 60±2 HRC (Rockwell) achieved by a vacuum heat treatment, resulting in an extremely sharp blade that holds its edge well.
【Efficient slicer】The 1.9 mm thin blade has a cutting edge hand-sharpened to a 9-13 degree angle per side. It glides effortlessly through food with clean, precise cuts. The reverse tanto tip allows delicate precision work.
【Superb control and comfort】The knife is precision-engineered with a perfect balance between the blade and handle for optimal control. Its handle is ergonomically shaped to fit comfortably in your hand.
【Long-lasting G10 handle】The G10 handle is highly resistant to heat, cold, water penetration, as well as acids, and it will not deform, break, chip, or wear. It is well-polished for easy cleaning.
