HANDLE

Handle made of fat carbon, an innovative material composed of non-woven carbon and epoxy sheets with some brass powder. The way its appearance changes with the light is fascinating.

BLADE

5 types of steel :

- 12C27 stainless steel (Sandvik): premium stainless steel, high in chromium and carbon which gives it a robust and easy-to-maintain cutting edge.

- XC75 carbon steel : the steel of our grandfathers, a blade very easy to sharpen but getting oxidized.

- RWL34 stainless steel : very pure steel, made with the powder metallurgy technique. Modern steel, particularly efficient, very strong, tough with an excellent cutting edge and high resistance to rust.

- VG10 stainless steel or Suminagashi : composed of a central core covered on both sides with 33 layers of damascus which gives it a better rigidity and an excellent cutting edge.

- stainless damascus steel 160 layers : we can compare this technique with puff pastry. This steel is composed of RWL34 for the shiny parts and PMC27 for the dark parts, merged together at 1220°C, then hammered, stretched and folded several times on themselves. It is the best steel you can find nowadays !
