Materials Used & Features

Blade

Our blades consist of 7CR17Mov Stainless Steel: made up of Carbon (to maintain hardness and edge retention), Chromium (which contributes to durability and corrosion resistenace) as well as Molybdendum and Vanadium (for strength and wear resistance). Our blades are tough, sharpen easily and are reliable and easy to maintain.

Damascus Steel 

Each knife features a stunning pattern of layered steel. Each knife is not only a tool but a work of art, reflecting the time-honored tradition of Japanese blade making.

Construction

Our blades are Full Tang blades which represent the pinnacle of durability and strength in knife construction, renowned for their robustness and reliability. A full tang knife is crafted from a single piece of metal that extends from the tip of the blade to the end of the handle, providing unparalleled stability and balance. This design ensures that the blade and handle are seamlessly integrated, offering superior control and reducing the risk of breakage or detachment during heavy use.

The Full Tang construction enhances the knife's structural integrity, making it capable of withstanding rigorous tasks such as chopping, slicing, and cutting with precision and ease. It also distributes weight evenly along the knife, resulting in a comfortable grip and reducing fatigue during extended periods of use.

Ergonomic Design

Our knives consist of thoughtfully designed handles providing a comfortable, secure grip, allowing for precise control and reduced hand fatigue during extended use.

Care and Maintenance

Sharpening

Cleaning

Hand washing is recommended to preserve the blade’s sharpness and the handle’s quality. Avoid using dishwashers as the harsh detergents and high temperatures can damage the knives.

Dry the knives immediately after washing to prevent moisture from affecting the blades or handles.

Storage

Store the knives in a knife block, on a magnetic strip, or in protective sheaths to prevent damage and ensure safety.
