It features a thinner, harder blade with significantly enhanced sharpness. Its long, curved edge and sharp tip make it exceptionally versatile for slicing meat, trimming sinew, and performing delicate tasks. It adeptly handles fruits, vegetables, and fish, making it a universal choice cherished by professional chefs and home cooks alike. https://cdn.store-assets.com/s/761499/f/15515306.jpg VG10 Steel Core VG10 stainless steel is a premium core material commonly used in high-end Japanese kitchen knives. It combines the hardness of high-carbon steel with enhanced rust resistance, making knives crafted from it exceptionally easy to maintain. Its sharpness rivals that of special high-carbon steels, earning the admiration of many artisans. https://cdn.store-assets.com/s/761499/f/15520282.jpg 67-Layer Damascus Pattern Damascus steel originated in the 3rd century from high-carbon steel produced in the Damascus region of the Middle East. Knives made from this material were prized for their exceptional sharpness and toughness, representing the most valuable craftsmanship of their time. While its original steel properties are no longer replicable, contemporary bladesmiths achieve the beautiful Damascus pattern by layering steels of varying hardness, followed by acid etching and polishing. Ye Tian employs a San Mai construction, cladding the VG10 core with layers of Damascus steel, resulting in a knife that is strong, beautiful, and sharp. https://cdn.store-assets.com/s/761499/f/15514839.png Beauty in Uniqueness https://cdn.store-assets.com/s/761499/f/15514526.jpg Integrated Bolster Design The integrated bolster design offers a comfortable grip and simplifies cleaning, promoting superior hygiene.

Clean with water or mild detergent only. Dishwashers and dish dryers are not recommended as they can affect the lifespan of the wooden handle. 2. After washing, allow the knife to air dry in a cool place. Avoid direct sunlight, which can shorten the life of the wooden handle. 3. Do not use abrasive cleaning tools like steel wool, as they can damage the blade's surface and reduce its lifespan. [Regarding Food Preparation Care] 1. Thoroughly wash the knife after cutting acidic or sticky foods. 2. Always thaw frozen foods before cutting to prevent damage to the blade. 3. Use knives on a cutting board. Cutting on hard surfaces such as concrete, tile, or porcelain can accelerate blade wear. 4. Slicing knives are designed for slicing and cutting, not for chopping hard ingredients, to avoid edge rolling or chipping. For bone-in items, a cleaver is recommended. [Regarding Handle Care] 1. Under normal use, the wooden handle requires no special maintenance. To enhance its texture and longevity, you may apply a food-grade beeswax polish. 2. Precautions: * Self-sharpening with tools like whetstones is not recommended for non-professionals. * Cleaning in dishwashers or dish dryers is not recommended.
