The Range - Swirling Mirror Damascus
This stunning range is made with an incredible Damascus effect made using layers of steel to create a swirling pattern with a mirrored finish.
The Steel - AUS10 Stainless Steel
This range is made using AUS10 stainless steel. AUS10 is very similar to VG10 offering the perfect mid-point in stainless steel with amazing sharpness out of the box, excellent retention and easy maintenance.
The Model - Santoku
Similar to a Gyuto chef’s knife, the Santoku offers a large light blade with a taller profile and a flatter belly, making the knife excellent for a more ‘up and down’ chopping motion for meat, fish or vegetables. Blades vary from 160mm to 180mm. This is a great knife if you want an all rounder with shorter blade and a good weight to it.
