Sharpness that lasts, with a refined edge
Edge performance comes from a wet sharpening approach that leverages water and controlled whetstone action to achieve a refined edge near 15 degrees per side. The blade’s 60 HRC hardness reinforces durability, helping it hold a clean cut through repeated use. While results depend on technique and care, this design supports precise slicing, even with tougher or fibrous ingredients.
