73-Layer Damascus Steel with VG10 Core
The defining feature of this knife is its beautifully patterned Damascus steel blade with a VG10 steel core .
Multiple layers of steel create the flowing Damascus pattern visible across the blade, giving every angle of the knife a distinctive appearance.
At the center of the construction is VG10 steel , a well-known Japanese cutlery steel valued for its combination of hardness, edge retention, corrosion resistance and ability to take a fine cutting edge.
The blade is rated at approximately 60–62 HRC , providing the hardness needed to support a refined kitchen edge.
A Damascus Pattern Designed to Stand Out
This isn't an ordinary polished kitchen knife.
The Damascus pattern flows across virtually the entire blade, creating dramatic waves, lines and organic shapes that change as light moves across the steel.
The combination of patterned steel, polished bolster and richly figured wood handle gives the knife a distinctive premium appearance suitable for both everyday cooking and display.
Hand-Sharpened 15° Edge for Precision Cutting
A premium steel deserves precise edge geometry.
The cutting edge is sharpened to approximately 15 degrees per side , providing a fine balance between sharpness, control and practical durability.
This fine edge geometry allows the knife to move cleanly through common kitchen ingredients without requiring excessive downward pressure.
Whether you're slicing meat, preparing fish, chopping vegetables or working with fresh herbs, the refined edge is designed for smooth and controlled food preparation.
