Damascus Steel and Blade Detail

The blade is expertly crafted by combining 1095 and VG10 steel through repeated layering, welding, and hammering. This process creates the distinctive Damascus pattern across the blade, giving every knife its own individual appearance.

Damascus steel is valued for its strength, hardness, edge retention, and visual character. The blade is heat treated to approximately HRC 62–65, providing a dependable balance of sharpness, durability, and cutting performance for professional and everyday kitchen use.

The 5.5-inch French-style blade provides excellent control and versatility for slicing, chopping, dicing, trimming, and precision food preparation.
