With a blade length of 165mm (6.5″) and a blade made from 33 layers of Damascus steel, this knife is strong, sharp, and durable. The blade combines the strength of high carbon molybdenum vanadium steel AUS-8 with the stain resistance of low carbon SUS1A-1 to create a blade that is both tough and easy to maintain.

This type of knife is known for its wide and thick blade, which is well-suited for heavy-duty tasks like filleting fish and preparing meats. The shape of the blade also makes it useful for chopping and mincing vegetables and herbs, as well as for crushing garlic and ginger.

The ferrule of the knife is made from stainless steel, while the handle is crafted from pakka wood, a type of laminated wood that is both attractive and comfortable to hold. The handle is well-balanced and easy to grip, allowing for precise and controlled cuts. The knife weighs approximately 200g, making it a bit heavier than some other options on the market.
