Extremely sharp, extremely hard, and extremely durable, these are the ultimate in superior quality kitchen knives. Yaxell blades are heated in a kiln to a very high temperature and then ice-hardened. Then they are again tempered using the high temperature to make the blade strong, durable and corrosion-resistant with long-lasting performance. The core material is VG10 'super stainless steel' which is covered by 18 layers of soft and hard high carbon stainless steel on each side producing a 37-layer rust free Damascus blade. The hammer marks on the upper part of the blade make it look artistic. The logo is stamped, not etched. The blade has an extremely sharp cutting angle with a hardness rating of HRC61 on the Rockwell scale. The handle is constructed of FDA-approved black canvas-micarta, an odorless, enormously durable material made of resin and linen that will last decades. The end of the each is stainless steel, which gives the knife outstanding stability. Two stainless steel rivets fasten the handle tightly.
