Traditionally, these knives are used only by head chefs as a symbol of status.

DESCRIPTION

AUS-10 Stainless Steel
AUS-10 steel is one of the best steels used to make good-quality knives. It has good edge retention, toughness, hardness, corrosion resistance, and wear resistance.It is very easy to sharpen the knives made of AUS-10 stainless steel and they attain a very perfect edge. The sharpening of AUS-10A steel is easy and can be achieved through different sharpening materials.Damascus is a laminated steel knife made of several layers of different steel materials. The center of the blade is made of hard steel for sharpness, and both sides are covered with multiple soft steel materials. The multiple steels are metallurgically joined, not by plating or glue. The more the blade is forged, the more complex the ripples become, and the more beautiful the unique grain pattern becomes.

The Marine Plastic material in the handle is lightweight and comfortable. All of our Marine Plastic Handles are made from recycled ocean plastics reclaimed from the beaches of Tsushima. Our company wants to make an effort to help clean up the wasted ocean plastics and beaches and to do our best to leave a cleaner world for the next generation. Our process of making these handles is still underdevelopment, as such they sometimes are shipped with minor imperfections.

These new second generation Ocean Plastic handles have a NFC Chips embedded in the end of the handle. If you tap it to your phone it will open a link to our website. Where you can find more information about your knife and our recycled plastic program.

HANDMADE FORGING

With the traditional forging process, the molecules of the iron material are finely tuned, leading to the completion of a "living kitchen knife" that breathes.

DURABILITY

The process of heating and forging each material for mold making is repeated three or four times to quickly shape the blade and create durability before the carbon is released from the steel causing it to lose its original strength.

SHARPNESS

The blade is the most important factor in achieving the best possible sharpness. It is polished in our own blade factory to produce uncompromising sharpness.

HANDLE

The highest priority is placed on sturdiness, a sense of luxury, and a shape that is easy to grip and does not cause fatigue even after long hours of use.
