This 16.5cmsantoku knife features a damascened blade with a core of VG10 steel. This Japanese steel has a solid reputation in the cutlery world. Its 1% carbon content gives it good hardness and a long-lasting edge.
The steel achieves a hardness of around 60/61 HRC. Despite its high carbon content, VG10 has a high chromium content, making it more resistant to oxidation than other carbon-enriched knives. The blade core is then surrounded by 16 layers of damascus (33 by folding them over the blade core, which is also counted), a process that consists of superimposing hard and soft steels on the core, to increase its strength and flexibility at the same time (to make it less brittle). The layers interweave beautifully on the cutting surface, creating unique waves on each knife. The polished finish of the blade edge adds cachet to the whole.
For an extra touch of authenticity, the brand logo has been hand-engraved on the cutting surface!
The full-silk blade extends to the end of the handle, itself made of laminated black wood. This material is soft, pleasant to the touch and resistant to temperature variations and humidity.
It is completed by 3 stainless steel rivets, which hold the laminated wood together with the steel of the tang.
Wash the knife by hand and wipe with a soft cloth immediately afterwards for proper care and long-term durability.
