Additional manufacturer information:

A blade combining sharpness and durability
The VG-10 core steel provides exceptional hardness and durability, ensuring a long blade life. It is also highly rust-resistant and easy to sharpen, making it suitable for a wide range of users, from beginners to professionals.

Jet-black Damascus finish
Electrolytic colouring technology gives the natural layers of the stainless steel a deep, luxurious black tone. The black blades evoke the dark night of a new moon, while their gleaming edges recall the glow of a crescent moon.

Octagonal ebony handle
Ebony, which naturally darkens as it grows, is known for its hardness and exceptional durability. The octagonal handle has a double-layer construction that resists cracking and gives a comfortable, secure grip.

Points to consider when resharpening
The black surface finish may wear off during sharpening. To preserve the cutting performance and appearance of the knife, the manufacturer recommends having it resharpened at the factory.
