Product detail Akane
blade
73 layers of hammered Damascus steel with a high-alloy powder steel core (14Cr14MoVNb) and 72 layers Rust-resistant SUS 410 stainless steel. Vacuum and cryogenic heat treatment creates an extremely fine microstructure with the highest level of hardness. The niobium content in the core gives the blade extreme sharpness and maximum wear resistance. The Japanese V-grind with 15° per side guarantees uncompromising precision. The characteristic hammering gives the Damascus knife a special character and underscores its handcrafted aesthetic. The half bolster and full tang ensure balanced weight distribution, increased stability, and maximum durability under intensive use.
Handle
The ergonomically shaped handle made of dark, elegant rosewood sits comfortably and securely in the hand – even during extended use. Each handle is finely polished several times to achieve a particularly smooth, supple surface that not only looks high-quality but also provides a pleasant grip. Suitable for both left- and right-handed users.
