Features of This Knife

Blade Design: The 170mm Damascus blade is crafted from VG10 high-carbon stainless steel as a core blade, enriched with cobalt for added strength, resulting in a hardness of 60-61 HRC. This durable core provides exceptional sharpness and long-lasting edge retention, perfect for achieving precise cuts.
Damascus Wave Pattern: Featuring a 16- layer welded Damascus wave pattern, each knife boasts a unique design with no two blades identical. The welding process joins the blade and flange seamlessly, creating a polished, intricate finish that enhances the blade’s aesthetics.

Care Instructions:

After each use, wash the knife gently, wipe it with a cloth, and ensure it is completely dry.
For long-term storage, coat the blade lightly with a plant-based oil and wrap it in a tea towel.
Maintain blade sharpness by sharpening approximately every 10 days or as needed for optimal performance.

Cautions and Tips for Longevity:

Use only for food preparation, avoiding non-food tasks.
Whenever possible, use a wooden cutting board to reduce wear on the blade.
Avoid cutting hard items like frozen foods, bones, crab shells, or dense vegetables (e.g., pumpkin) with this knife; use a specialized knife instead to prevent chipping or cracking.
Avoid direct contact with the blade; handle carefully to prevent injury.
Do not expose the knife to direct flame or strike it with hard objects.
Store securely and keep out of reach of children.
