Not going to lie, I just really liked this knife and wanted to cook with it for a while. As a result this knife has a patina established. Edge appears bright because of the mechanical stropping I did resulting fine cutting edge. While i cooked with this for the past year i never sharpened it once and stropped weekly. at the end of the 9 months it could still shave arm hair despite being my daily driver.
This knife’s mono steel blade is made from 26c3 carbon steel. Similar in composition to Hitachi White line of steels with high levels of carbon and very little impurities, but with the a small addition of chromium leading to higher edge retention. This steel performs at a high level while offering greater toughness and edge retnetion than its Japanese counter parts. This steel takes fine edges and is easy to sharpen while producing fine burrs in the process. With a asymmetrical grind, this knife is designed for a right handed user. With a smooth side on the left hand side of the blade a hamon running the full length of the blade is visible while the right hand side is heavily forged.
The take down handle is made from wood reclaimed from a pallete coming from overseas. The wood is super dense and has a deep mahogany colour. Handle is sealed with multiple layers of natural tung oil.
Each knife comes securely stored in its own wooden sheath and wrapped in a furoshiki.
