The blade is made from a VG10 steel core, which is then clad in a soft stainless steel layer for added durability and corrosion resistance. The knife has a Rockwell hardness rating of 60-61, which means it can hold a sharp edge for a long time.

The handle of the knife is made from black pakka wood, which is a type of resin-impregnated hardwood that is durable and moisture-resistant. The handle has a full tang design, which means the blade extends all the way through the handle, providing better balance and control.

It has a versatile 8-inch blade that is suitable for a wide range of kitchen tasks, including chopping, slicing, and dicing. The knife has a sharp, thin blade that can easily cut through food, and the comfortable handle provides a secure grip!

How to Use

This is a general-purpose kitchen knife suited to chopping, slicing and dicing across a wide range of ingredients. The thin, sharp 180mm blade is designed for precise, controlled cuts — let the edge do the work rather than applying heavy downward pressure, which helps preserve the fine edge the VG10 core is ground to hold.

Storage

Hand wash and dry the knife immediately after use rather than leaving it wet or placing it in a dishwasher, and store it in a knife block, on a magnetic strip, or with a blade guard rather than loose in a drawer, to protect both the edge and anyone reaching in afterwards. Keep it away from prolonged damp conditions to help maintain the stainless cladding's corrosion resistance.
