The core material of this beautiful Yaxell Ran Meat Knife is VG10 super steel, which is composed of cobalt, molybdenum, vanadium and carbon. VG10 stainless steel is coated with 34 layers of soft and hard high-carbon stainless steel on each side, which produces the 69-layered rust-resistant Damascus look. The blade has an extremely sharp cutting edge. Our special heat treatment gives the blade the excellent hardness score of HRC61 on the Rockwell scale, ensuring long-lasting cutting performance. The handle is made of FDA-approved black Canvas-Micarta, which is an odorless and extremely durable material made of resin and linen. This material will last for decades. The end of the handle is made of stainless steel, which gives the knife excellent stability. We firmly attach the handle with two stainless steel rivets.
