This series features knives forged from a high-carbon stainless alloy steel that unites the keen sharpness of carbon steel with the ease of care and corrosion resistance of stainless steel. With one of the highest carbon contents in its class, it achieves an exceptional balance of sharpness, edge retention, and ease of sharpening.
The blade is finished with a refined hairline polish and shaped into a delicate hamaguri (clam-shell) edge, offering both precision and smooth cutting performance.
Natural Olive Wood Handle
The handle is made from natural olive wood, known for its beautiful grain, rich natural oils, and outstanding durability. In many cultures, the olive tree is cherished as a symbol of wisdom, adding a quiet sense of depth and meaning to the design. Its warm tone and gentle texture complement the stainless blade perfectly, creating a knife that feels both elegant and alive in the hand.
SLD Steel
The core material, SLD steel (also known as SKD or die steel), is prized for its toughness, hardness, and wear resistance, with chromium providing strong rust resistance. Easy to maintain and rewarding to sharpen, this knife is perfect for those who value a long-lasting edge, smooth handling, and effortless upkeep in both professional and home kitchens.
Thanks to its high hardness and excellent wear resistance, the knife maintains its edge beautifully over time while remaining comfortable and responsive in use.
