Awabi Gyuto Chef Knife with Steel and Wood Blade Cover

This Awabi Chef Knife is made by for us out of AUS-10 Damascus Steel and thus offers one of the best cutlery steels on the market at an extremely competitive price. These Full Tang knives will provide you a lifetime of service.

The hardness of AUS-10 steel is mostly caused by the incredibly high carbon-content of approximately 1.05. As a result the knives can easily be sharpened leaving you with razor-sharp results.

In addition, the combination of vanadium, chrome and molybdenum also ensures that the steel is corrosion and wear and tear resistant. AUS-10 knives will, as a result, not be prone to rust and also don’t need to be sharpened frequently.

It is not recommended to use pull through sharpeners. Stones are the best method of sharpening this higher end steel. 

 

The handles are made on natural abalone cast in resin and fit to the knife. These handles are extremely stable. They are attached with 2 standard pins and one intricate mosaic pin. These Highly polished knives will look great in your kitchen.
