The blades are then protected by 32 layers of Damascus steel , ensuring a perfect balance between hardness and flexibility to prevent them from breaking easily.
Hammered aesthetics, Damascus blade and ergonomic handle
Each blade is hand-hammered (using the "Tsuchime" technique), creating hollows and bumps that not only provide a unique aesthetic touch but also enhance the non-stick ability of the blades, preventing food from sticking during cutting.
The handle, made of medium brown pakkawood , has been designed for both comfort and durability . Its curved shape naturally fits the hand, whether right- or left-handed, ensuring a secure and comfortable grip. The engraved steel bolster adds to the knife's balance while providing an elegant and unique finish. These knives are distinguished by their refined aesthetics and the harmonious wooden handle paired with a Damascus steel blade . They are presented in an elegant light wood box , making them an ideal gift for cooking enthusiasts or simply a treat for yourself.
