This set of 4 13.5m Shizu Hamono steak knives is part of the superb Damascus Series range. It offers both beauty and performance, and brings a traditional touch to your table. Each knife in the set is shaped like a small Japanese sword, for an authentic look.
The blade of each Shizu Hamono steak knife is damascened. This means that its structure is based on a core superimposed with alternating layers of different steels.
First, the core is made of Japanese stainless steel, VG10. This top-of-the-range alloy is highly appreciated, not least for its durability. With a carbon content of 1%, for example, it boasts an excellent hardness of around 60 HRC on the Rockwell scale. Such a core ensures a long-lasting sharpness (it supports a "razor" finish), and saves you from repeated sharpening. Two softer steels are then placed alternately on top of the VG10 core. They add suppleness to the alloy (without making it flexible) and increase its resistance to corrosion. These complementary layers create a strong, durable alloy, ideal for regular use. The steels alternate in 16 folded layers on either side of the core, for a total of 33 strata when the blade is viewed as a whole (including the core).
The handle is made of dark laminated wood. You can distinguish unique veins on its surface.
Its straight shape rises slightly to the tip of the functional part. Both right-handed and left-handed users can use it, and its polished surface is very pleasant in the hand. You can distinguish the full tang blade at the end of the handle, which extends across the entire piece, for an impeccable finish. The knife is lightweight and pleasant to use, even over extended periods.
Knives should be washed by hand, then wiped with a soft cloth and stored away from moisture. Do not use the dishwasher. They come in a black cardboard box. You can give it as a present, or make a nice gift for yourself!
