Crafted from premium VG10 damascus steel, the blade ensures ultra-precise slicing—whether you’re working with ripe tomatoes or tender meat. The gently curved ambidextrous black pakkawood handle fits naturally in your hand for total control. A refined piece of cutlery for those who appreciate exceptional tools and timeless design.
