• Japanese AUS-10 Steel: This type of steel has an ultra-high carbon content, which means these knives stay sharper and hold their edge longer than German steel. Translation? Cutting is easier and safer. And you won’t need to sharpen them as often.
• Sloped Bolster: Naturally guides your hand to a comfortable and natural grip. The curved angle of the “heel” of the blade means your fingers are less likely to get cut. 
• Hybrid Blade Shape: German knives have a rounded belly, Japanese knives are flat. Ours is the perfect mashup and works for any kind of cutting motion – chopping, rocking, drawing, or slicing!
• Ergonomic Handle + Clean Material: Crafted from POM, a strong thermoplastic. Unlike wood, it won’t crack or harbor germs, and unlike plastic, it’s not slippery and won’t wear out.
• Wave-Like Serrations: Most serrated knives have sharp, pointy teeth. Ours are designed with slightly rounded tips, so it more gently glides through food with fewer, smoother strokes.
• Rockwell Scale: The ideal hardness range is 58-60. Any lower, it’s too soft and inefficient; any higher, it’s prone to chipping. Ours rate at 58. Just right.

• Hand wash (never dishwasher) and dry immediately after use
• Note: White handles may stain if exposed to boldly colored ingredients like turmeric, chili oil, or tomato sauce. Any discoloration is purely cosmetic and won’t affect performance.
