MATERIALS : Beautifully handcrafted with the finest materials. This popular series is due impart to the combination of the raindrop Damascus pattern, hammered (Tsuchime finish) and Full Tang. Rosewood handles with decorative brass rivets. This Damascus kitchen knife would make a stunning addition to your kitchen. Each Damascus blade is made up of three major sections of steel. The primary core that serves as the cutting edge and two outer protective sections help prevent rust build up.

Blade Center Core: consists of a central core that functions as the base of the blade and the cutting edge. The steel used for the core is 10Cr15CoMoV which is China's equivalent of Japanese VG10. This steel balances the use of Carbon and Chromium with the rarer earth metals Molybdenum, Cobalt, Vanadium, and Manganese for enhanced durability and sharpness.
Expensive Vacuum Deep-cooling Heat Treatment is used to harden the blade to 60 ± 1 on the Rockwell scale. This hardness range is the sweet spot of Damascus kitchen knives, which makes it harder, sharper, and more durable.
