Forged with a Japanese AUS-10 steel core, wrapped in 67 layers of Damascus steel, and sharpened to a surgical edge, this knife is designed for performance chefs — without the $500 price tag.
SO WHAT IS THIS KNIFE?
This isn’t a flashy brand name. It’s not a celebrity endorsement.
This is a pro-grade blade built using the time-honored craftsmanship traditions of Japan, with one of the finest steels available: AUS-10. Renowned for its hardness, sharpness, and long-lasting edge retention, this steel is the core of blades used by top culinary artisans around the world.
- AUS-10 Japanese steel = elite edge retention and smooth glide
- 67-layer Damascus = strength, durability, and visual depth
- 8-inch profile = your go-to blade for everything from breaking down poultry to chiffonading basil
- Dark, masculine aesthetic = all function, zero distraction
