The cutting edge is Honbazuke-honed symmetrically at an angle of 19 degrees using the three-step process to a 9.5 to 12 degree edge, providing incredible sharpness for even the finest work. The blade consists of a Micro Carbide MC63 (SG2) powder steel core embedded in 100 further layers of steel, creating the distinctive 101-layer Flower Damascus pattern with katana edge that makes every knife in this range truly unique. The CRYODUR blade is ice-hardened at -196 degrees Celsius in a special process, ensuring a hardness of approximately 63 Rockwell. The D-shaped handle is made from beautiful Masur birch, characterised by its unique pattern of changing lines and stripes. Thanks to its perfect balance, the handle ensures effortless and effective working with maximum control while cutting. Hand wash only.
