A Japanese paring knife for all cooks
This Japanese knife features a refined damascened blade: this manufacturing technique involves forging a blade with a rigid core, then wrapping it in several layers of softer steel to ensure optimal balance.
The core of this blade is made of high-qualityJapanese VG10 steel . Composed of around 1% carbon, this alloy offers high hardness. In fact, this Japanese knife achieves a hardness of 60HRC on the Rockwell scale, ensuring a high-performance, long-lasting edge to your blade.
Secondly, the damascus is made up of 68 superimposed layers of stainless steel, added to the central core. This structure protects the core while balancing the blade. You can easily distinguish the different layers all over the blade's surface, creating elegant patterns that add a distinctive aesthetic to your Japanese kitchen knife.
