All knives undergo water treatment to enhance their cutting power and longevity compared to oil. The blade hardness should be approximately 57-62 degrees. While high-end knives often exceed 60 degrees, our primary focus is on achieving a balance between strength and flexibility. Exceeding 60 degrees can lead to blade breakage.

Crafted meticulously from carbon steel and full steel, this knife boasts a full steel blade, also known as Mono-Steel. This design signifies that only a single type of steel is used throughout its construction, from the spine to the edge. While industrial applications may not notice significant differences in durability between multi-layered steel and full steel, handmade knives often benefit from the superior durability of full steel.
