Specifications

VG10 Steel Blade - VG10 is a Japanese steel specifically made for high end kitchen knives. The high carbon and vanadium content allows VG10 to be heat-treated to a high hardness (60-62 HRC), enabling it to achieve and hold a very sharp edge. The addition of 15% chromium content makes it highly resistant to rust, staining, and corrosion. The steel is tough yet relatively easy to sharpen to maintain a sharp edge.

Garolite Handle - In constructing the handle we wanted to bring colours and patterns that reminded us of outback Australia - and we wanted to team that with an unrivalled strength. After testing multiple ingredients we opted to use multilayer Garolite - a military grade substance that is highly durable, impact-resistant, and nearly impervious to heat, cold, and moisture. It is also easy to grip and won't degrade over time.
