Specifications: Blade: 33-layer stainless steel, VG-10 core Blade Hardness: 61 HRC +/-1 Blade Length: 11cm Blade Width: 2.6cm Weight: Approximately 81g Usage Tips: After use, it should be washed and preferably dried thoroughly or left to air dry on a dish rack. Dishwasher use is not recommended. Chemicals used in dishwashers can cause discoloration on the blade, permanently damage the handle or the blade itself. Proper knife storage is essential. Magnetic strips and magnetic boards are highly recommended as they protect the knife during its "rest" while in the kitchen. Traditional block sets with slots require attention when inserting and removing knives to preserve their edge. It's also important to ensure they are thoroughly dried beforehand since the closed design of block sets does not provide good knife ventilation. Maintaining the quality of the blades also involves proper cutting board usage. Wooden and bamboo boards are recommended, while glass and stone boards are discouraged. Additionally, avoid cutting frozen products, items with bones, or submerging the blade in boiling water during the thermal processing of dishes. For long-unused kitchen knives, you can apply camellia oil to keep them in good condition. Adhering to these guidelines will allow you to enjoy the benefits of these beautifully crafted, perfectly sharp knives for many years. Supreme Hammered The knives are made from VG-10 stainless steel, one of the most highly regarded Japanese steels, wrapped in 32 layers of stainless steel, making the knife blade highly reliable. The hardness of the knives is approximately 61 HRC. The handle is made from laminated red pakka wood, beautifully complementing the layered pattern on the blade and ensuring a secure grip.
