• Aogami Steel Core – Legendary Japanese Cutting Power
At the heart of this blade lies Aogami (Blue Paper) high-carbon steel, prized for its hardness and ability to hold a razor-sharp edge. It's the steel of choice for professional Japanese bladesmiths and chefs alike.

• San Mai Construction – Strength, Flexibility, and Beauty
The blade is forged using traditional San Mai (three-layer) construction: a hard Aogami steel core sandwiched between layers of softer stainless steel. This method ensures edge durability while adding corrosion resistance and striking visual contrast.

• Hand-Engraved Blade – Signature of True Craftsmanship
Each blade features artisan hand-engraved kanji, adding a unique, personalized touch that speaks to its traditional Japanese origin.

• 15° V-Shaped Edge – Ultra Sharp, Ultra Precise
Sharpened to a precise 15° angle per side, this knife slices through meat, fish, and vegetables with effortless control and minimal resistance—ideal for both professional chefs and serious home cooks.

• Premium Olive Wood Handle – Natural Beauty, Comfortable Grip
The ergonomic handle is made from solid olive wood, valued for its smooth feel, gorgeous grain, and natural antibacterial properties. The subtle curves are shaped for a secure, fatigue-free grip during extended prep work.
