Its rounded tip imparts a gentle and safe impression, making it an all-purpose assistant in any home kitchen. With this one knife, most culinary tasks become effortlessly manageable. https://cdn.store-assets.com/s/761499/f/16675344.jpg VG10 Steel Core VG10 stainless steel is a popular choice for the core of high-end Japanese kitchen knives. It combines the hardness of high-carbon steel with enhanced rust resistance, making knives crafted from this material exceptionally easy to maintain. Its sharpness rivals that of special high-carbon steels, earning it the admiration of many artisans. https://cdn.store-assets.com/s/761499/f/16675345.jpg 67-Layer Damascus Pattern Damascus steel originated from high-carbon steel produced in the Damascus region of the Middle East in the 3rd century. Knives made from this steel were known for their exceptional sharpness and toughness, considered precious artisanal treasures of their time. While its original properties are no longer reproducible today, contemporary blade artisans create beautiful Damascus patterns by layering steels of varying hardness. Through processes of pickling and polishing, we can once again appreciate these exquisite patterns. Ye Tian employs a three-layer forging technique, encasing the VG10 steel core within a layer of Damascus patterned steel, uniting toughness, beauty, and sharpness in a single blade. https://cdn.store-assets.com/s/761499/f/15514721.jpg Each Piece is Uniquely Beautiful https://cdn.store-assets.com/s/761499/f/16686768.jpg Integrated Bolster Design The integrated bolster design not only ensures a comfortable grip but also simplifies cleaning, making it more hygienic.

Wash with water or mild detergent; dishwashers and dish dryers are also suitable. 2. After washing, air dry the knife and store it in a cool place, or ensure it is thoroughly dried. 3. Avoid using abrasive cleaning tools like steel wool, as they can damage the blade's surface and affect its lifespan. 4. If storing in a closed cabinet for an extended period, ensure the knife is completely dry before storage. 【Care During Food Preparation】 1. After cutting acidic or sticky foods, be sure to wash the knife thoroughly. 2. Always thaw frozen foods before cutting them with the knife to prevent damage. 3. Use the knife on a cutting board. Cutting on hard surfaces (such as concrete, tile, or ceramic plates) will accelerate blade wear. 4. Slicing knives are suitable for paring and slicing but should not be used for chopping hard ingredients to avoid edge rolling or chipping. If you need to process bone-in ingredients, a cleaver is recommended. 【Handle Care】 Under normal use, no special maintenance is required. 2. Precautions: * It is not recommended for non-professionals to sharpen the knife themselves using tools such as whetstones.
