The media could not be loaded. What I love about this knife is that it's just one chunk of Japanese VG10 steel, and the core has been clad in Damascus steel, treated 33.5x on each side for a total of 67 layers.The Damascus is perfectly subtle & beautiful. This knife came sharper than anything I have ever ordered, and on my chef knife alone I have purchased over 30 knives over the years.If you would like a utility/pairing knife for intricate work with meat vegetables and fruit, this is a great option.It looks even better in person!Even the packaging is elegant.
