MISAKI – where quality meets art.
Suitable for:
Blade
73 layers of hammered Damascus steel with a high-alloy powder steel core (14Cr14MoVNb) and 72 layers of rust-resistant SUS 410 stainless steel.
Vacuum and cryogenic heat treatment create an extremely fine microstructure with exceptional hardness. At 62-64 HRC on the Rockwell scale, the blade is among the most resilient and powerful cutting tools in its class. The niobium content in the core gives the blade extreme sharpness and maximum wear resistance.
The Japanese V-grind at 15° per side guarantees uncompromising precision. Exception: the bread knife uses a single-sided 30° serrated grind.
The characteristic hammered finish gives the Damascus knife a distinctive character and underlines its artisanal aesthetic.
Half bolster and full tang ensure balanced weight distribution, increased stability and maximum durability with intensive use.
Handle
The ergonomically shaped handle made from dark, fine rosewood sits comfortably and securely in the hand, even during longer use.
Each handle is finely polished several times to achieve an especially smooth, supple surface that feels premium and comfortable to hold.
Suitable for left- and right-handed users.
