Its blade is exceptional : it has the perfect combination between the damascus and the hammered effect. Indeed, it is made of 32 layers of stainless damask steel that are embellished with Japanese hand-hammered surface called Tsuchime. This process of embellishment is what gives the blade its original and wavy look. The core of the blade is made of VG10 steel that has been hardened to 61 degrees in the Rockwell scale.
