This knife features a VG10 Damascus steel blade. It has very interesting cutting properties: long-lasting edge retention and excellent fiery cutting. Its hardness on the Rockwell scale is equivalent to 61HRC, while its carbon content is around 1%, making it stronger than the average blade on the market. What's more, this steel is stainless and therefore highly resistant to corrosion.

Maintenance:

We do not recommend dishwashing. While the damascus blade is made of stainless steel, the core of the blade contains a high carbon content that is susceptible to corrosion. Opt for hand-washing, followed by immediate drying with a soft cloth. Then store in a dry place. This will preserve its original appearance over time. We recommend regular sharpening with a 3000/8000 Sharpening stone.

The oval-shaped handle is made of black micarta with 3 rivets running through it. This material is resistant to high temperatures and humidity , and is very strong. What's more, it's pleasant to hold and won't slip. So you're sure to opt for a durable tool.

The build quality and materials reinforce the feeling that this knife is ideal for the price it's offered at. It's perfect for your kitchen.
