Genuine blade edge, rust-resistant. ◆ Product Details: A new series of Damascus knives, "Yōryū," created with the theme of the sea. Using 440C, 440B, and our proprietary steel MKV10, craftsmen repeatedly fold and forge the steel, layering it into 105 layers, and then applying acid etching to the blade. The unique pattern, different for each knife, is beautiful and achieves excellent sharpness along with visual impact. After heat treatment, it reaches HRC63, and is adjusted to HRC61 by tempering, achieving both sharpness and toughness. It has a slightly heavier feel than a knife made of MKV10 single steel, and you can enjoy a well-balanced feel. The stainless steel material also provides excellent rust resistance. Despite the complex manufacturing process, we have kept the price down. It is priced several tens of thousands of yen lower than commercially available Damascus knives of the same quality, making it a cost-effective choice. 【Please Note】When sharpening, slightly raise the blade tip and sharpen only the cutting edge. You can maintain the beauty by avoiding the patterned areas. Even if scratches occur, the pattern will reappear by soaking it in vinegar or citric acid for 10-15 minutes.
