Unfortunate

I really love this knife. The weight and size is the right one for me. Sadly, someone dropped it and the tip went off. I should’ve took care of it more than i should to keep it on its best shape.

Highly recommended

This is a beautiful and practical knife that slices with ease.
I ordered on the 14th August and it arrived on the 18th in the U.K. after a short delay for import & tax to be paid.

Product Features

Handmade Forging

With the traditional forging process, the molecules of the iron material are finely tuned, leading to the completion of a "living kitchen knife" that breathes.

Durability

The process of heating and forging each material for mold making is repeated three or four times to quickly shape the blade and create durability before the carbon is released from the steel causing it to lose its original strength.

Sharpness

The blade is the most important factor in achieving the best possible sharpness. It is polished in our own blade factory to produce uncompromising sharpness.

Handle

The highest priority is placed on sturdiness, a sense of luxury, and a shape that is easy to grip and does not cause fatigue even after long hours of use.
