[General Features]
<< Introducing this newly upgraded 'Black Damascus' series, an enhanced version of the classic 'Damascus' collection. With superior finishing techniques, the intricate damascus texture now beautifully accentuates the striking black hue, offering a more refined and sophisticated look. >>
Kei Kobayashi R2 Special Finished Black Damascus Knives feature 63 Layer Damascus-patterned & Fine-black-finished blades with a core of SG2 (Super Gold 2 or R2) Micro Carbide Powder Stainless Steel for professional with a hardness of approx. 63 HRC.
The blade provides excellent rust resistance and a long-lasting edge as well as its beautifulness.
Moreover, the carefully finished edge with skilled Kobayashi's technique provides sharper edge than that by other craftspersons, and the blade insertion point into the handle is --- sometimes undervalued and overlooked --- nicely finished to keep beautility.
The "septagonal" shaped wood handle fits better comfortably to your hand, painted with austerely elegant dark-red cashew lacquer for beauty and durability.
