Does most of the work. If you buy one knife, buy this one.

Steel. 10Cr15CoMoV core, 60±2 HRC, ground to 9–12° per side — finer than a Western edge, and it shows: it bites into an onion skin instead of sliding off it.

Damascus. Layer count runs by line: 67 on Glacier, Ink, Ember and Abalone · 89 on Ironwood · 37-layer copper Damascus on Obsidian.

Care. Hand wash, dry straight away. Not dishwasher safe — the detergent dulls the edge.

Shipping & Returns

Free shipping over $249. Allow 10–15 business days, tracked via Australia Post. 30-day risk-free returns — email us and we'll arrange everything. Covered by the 2-Year Edge Guarantee.

Care Instructions

Hand wash only — never the dishwasher. Dry immediately after washing. Store on a magnetic strip or in a knife block, not loose in a drawer. Hone regularly with a ceramic rod and sharpen once or twice a year.

The Blade

Geometry that does the work for you.

Japanese blades are ground to a finer angle than Western knives — typically 15° per side versus 20–25°. That thinner geometry means less resistance through food, which translates to cleaner cuts with noticeably less effort. This knife keeps that edge for months, not weeks, thanks to the hard VG-10 core at its heart.

The 67-layer Damascus cladding isn't decoration. It wraps and protects that hard core, giving the blade flex and corrosion resistance without compromising the edge.
