FAQs
No. The pattern is forged from 73 real layers, a 14Cr14MoVNb powder-steel core clad in SUS410 stainless, 36 layers each side. It is the layer boundary showing through after grinding, not an etched print.
62±2 HRC. The powder-steel core is hardened with vacuum heat treatment and a deep-freeze cycle, which holds a keen edge longer than softer stainless.
15 degrees per side (±1), so it bites cleanly and is straightforward to maintain on a whetstone.
It is made in Yangjiang, Guangdong, the centre of China's knife industry. The steel grade, hardness and 15° grind are what determine performance, and all three are specified here.
No, hand wash and dry only. Dishwasher detergent and heat damage both the edge and the olive wood handle.
The blade is 212mm (8.5"), the standard all-purpose chef length. It is long enough to rock-chop volume yet still controllable for everyday prep.
Yes, a lifetime warranty against manufacturing defects.
