The FC61 fine carbide steel core delivers exceptional initial sharpness and cutting edge retention, embedded in 48 layers of steel that create each knife's unique Damascus design. The symmetrical cutting edge is Honbazuke-honed through a three-stage grinding, sharpening and polishing process for razor-like sharpness. There is no finger guard so the entire length of the cutting edge can be used. The symmetrical edge (not single bevel) makes this knife suitable for both left and right-handed users. The smooth join between handle and bolster helps to prevent calluses on the thumb and forefinger. The ergonomically shaped black Pakka wood handle features a striking mosaic pin and end-cap. Maintain and sharpen using whetstones. Avoid cutting on glass, ceramic or stone boards. Hand wash only.
