What makes AUS‑10 steel different?

AUS‑10 has more carbon (about 2.5×) than most high‑end steels, so the blade stays sharper for a much longer time.

Is this knife dishwasher safe?

No. Like almost all high‑quality knives, it should be hand‑washed and dried immediately after use.

Does it work for left‑handed users?

Yes. The knife features a 50/50 symmetric grind at 15° per side, making it comfortable for both right- and left‑handed cooks.

How often do I need to sharpen it?

Thanks to the high‑carbon AUS‑10 steel and Rockwell hardness of 58, the edge stays sharp longer than many other steels. Touch it up occasionally with a honing rod; professional sharpening is only needed a few times per year, depending on usage.

What’s the sloped bolster for?

It encourages the correct pinch grip and keeps your fingers away from the heel of the blade, making it both comfortable and safer to use.
