ZDP189

Knives made of ZDP-189 steel are rare, as they are difficult and expensive to produce, and only the best knife makers are able to forge, laminate, and heat-treat these steels.

WA handle

Wa handles are much lighter, which shifts the balance toward the blade. This makes chopping and maneuvering easier. They also can be swapped should you be inclined to find a different option.

Vacuum and deep freeze

The blade undergoes a meticulous heat treatment process that includes vacuum heat treatment for uniform hardness, followed by a deep freeze to enhance wear resistance and overall toughness.
