This blade is made out of 14c28n stainless steel by sandvik. This steel is basically AEBL but with a bit better edge retention. Near same chemical composition. Rated by Larrin to be the best "cost-benefit" stainless steel.

I often call this alloy as the stainless version of the 52100 because it shares similar features like very fine grain, great toughness even at high HRC and has a very good edge retention. Obviously good corrosion resistance for being stainless too.

It has a perfectly set balance right in the makers mark, which will allow you to control the knife with total precision.

Its handle is out of ebony + crosscut kingwood spacer + kingwood (both A+ grades) - the specie is Dalbergia Cearensis and is a true rosewood - often called kingwood because it was the favorite wood of french kings in some of the last centuries for building luxury furniture.

The choil and spine are rounded, ensuring full comfort when handling the blade.

Its edge geometry speaks by itself as per the pictures and the video above, it will slice anything with the very minimal effort needed

As of regular concern, 14c28n steel will handle this geometry perfectly fine and no, it wont be fragile. This being said, still a high performance, very specific knife, dont use it to open cans, cut frozen meat and be carefull with the tip piercing the cutting board, as this can snap/bend it.

The blade is quite wide, perfect for chopping and processing daily a lot of veggies/food overall. Not the best knife to slice meat, since you would rather prefer a narrower, convex grind blade for that, but it will do the job too.

$SOLD shipped with red luxury zipped pouch included - im from Brazil and i dont take paypal - payment is easy, fast and there are many options available - i got tons of references.

Blade is delivered hand sharpened to 2000 grit - unpacked ready for a very pleasing experience of use.

Please feel free to reach me via email so i can properly introduce my work and figure out something really cool for you.

There are some new cool customer pictures in my website gallery, please feel yourself welcome to take a look - fvazknives.com

I will take it. That one is gorgeous. I have been enjoying the 52100 Bunka I got from you. It slices like a giant straight razor. I want to gift this one for Christmas.
