A remarkable blade for this damascus knife
Immerse yourself in the refinement of a Japanese kitchen knife designed to last and perform! The 19cm blade of this kiritsuke knife is built around a core of VG10 stainless steel, a Japanese alloy enriched with approximately 1% carbon. VG10 steel is renowned for its ability to maintain a sharp edge while offering good strength: it has a hardness of 60HRC on the Rockwell scale.
Around this core are 33 layers of damascus steel, creating an elegant, wavy pattern and providing suppleness and vibration absorption for your Japanese kitchen knife.
To enhance cutting comfort and fluidity, the surface is hammered to limit food adherence, then mirror-polished to enhance visual brilliance. This combination of techniques gives your damascus knife versatility, durability and efficiency!
The Japanese knife with a green lacquered handle
The handle is made from ABS resin and lacquered in a green inspired by traditional Japanese lacquers. Ideal for use in the kitchen, this modern material is moisture-resistant, easy to clean and suitable for everyday use.
Its octagonal shape, typical of many Japanese knives, ensures a stable, comfortable grip in any hand. The bold design of this range adds a contemporary touch while respecting traditional codes: a balance between aesthetics and functionality!
