Blade that stands out
The Basic Damascus Tojiro blade is made of Damascus stainless steel, renowned for centuries for its sharpness and durability, but also for the striking appearance created by its distinctive "waves" that make each knife literally unique. More specifically, the blade core consists of the innovative Japanese stainless steel VG10 alloy, characteristic for its hardness due to its cobalt content, which is enclosed by separate layers of Damascus steel, thus enhancing the stiffness and durability of the knife. Each Basic Damascus is sharpened by experienced Japanese craftsmen on both sides at 15 ° to get a really sharp blade.

It is made of Eco-Wood, a material that is highly resistant to continuous and hard use. This unique handle makes the use of the knife extremely comfortable and offers a firm, stable grip and perfect balance.

Whatever knife you use, it will eventually need to get sharpened to remain in high performance. Hard steel knives (high Rockwell) such as the Japanese and especially if they are sharpened on one side, it is recommended to sharpen exclusively with stone to achieve the best possible sharpening while protecting the blade of the knife to continue to have the highest possible performance.
