• VG10 Damascus Steel Blade with 67 Layers, Forged and Stainless Steel Bolster: The VG10 Damascus steel is celebrated for its formidable strength and lasting edge. Comprising 67 layers, it offers unparalleled hardness, sharpness, and endurance. With a carbon content of 0.95-1.05%, it surpasses the typical hardness of knives with 0.3% carbon content. The forging process enhances the blade's toughness, and the stainless steel bolster not only balances the knife but also enhances its visual appeal.
• Ergonomic Full Tang Design with Curved Handle and Mosaic Brass Rivet: This knife features a full tang design, where the blade extends through the handle, ensuring enhanced stability and strength. The handle’s contoured shape provides a comfortable, secure grip, and the distinctive mosaic brass rivet adds a unique, elegant touch.
• Hi-Density Fiber Durable Handle G10, Reduces Fatigue, and Stain-Free: The hi-density fiber G10 handle, a high-pressure fiberglass laminate, a type of composite material, is extremely durable and resistant to both fatigue and stains. This material is designed for comfort and longevity, making it ideal for frequent use in a kitchen.
• Superior Hardness and Precision with 58-60 Rockwell Hardness and 15-17 Degree Edge Angle: The knife's 58-60 Rockwell hardness ensures the perfect balance between retaining sharpness and resisting chipping. The ideal 15-17 degree edge angle provides efficient, precise cuts, while the hammered texture adds beauty and helps reduce food sticking.
• Oil-Hardened for Enhanced Sharpness, Durability, and Corrosion Resistance: The oil-quenching heat treatment process, involving rapid cooling in oil, limits air exposure and surface oxidation. This results in a blade that is harder by 1-2HRC compared to air cooling, offering improved toughness and superior rust resistance.
• Ever Helix Santoku knife comes with a solid magnetic wood sheath, which offers a long term protection to your precious knife.
