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.

The Katherine River

The Katherine River is a prominent river in the Northern Territory of Australia, known for its stunning landscapes and significance to the region's ecosystems and Indigenous culture. It is a major tributary of the Victoria River and flows through the Katherine Gorge in Nitmiluk National Park.

Key Features of the Katherine River:

• Location: Flows through the Katherine Valley, approximately 320 km southeast of Darwin.
• Natural Beauty: Famous for the dramatic limestone cliffs and deep gorges of Nitmiluk (Katherine Gorge), which are formed by erosion over millennia.
• Recreation: Popular activities include boating, kayaking, swimming, and hiking. The gorge is a highlight for visitors exploring the national park.

Ecological and Cultural Significance:

• Biodiversity: Supports diverse wildlife, including freshwater crocodiles, barramundi, and various bird species.
• Indigenous Heritage: The Jawoyn people are the traditional custodians of the land around the Katherine River and have a deep cultural and spiritual connection to the river and gorge area.
• Conservation: Nitmiluk National Park protects the river's ecosystems and cultural sites. Efforts focus on managing water flow and preserving the natural environment.

Environmental Challenges:

• The river's flow can be affected by seasonal rainfall variability, and there are ongoing efforts to balance ecological health with water use for communities and industry.
