Each Katahiro Kubota damascus knife was made with due care and from the best materials for both, the blade and the handle. The blade is made of high quality VG-10 steel (middle layer) and 66 layers folded Damascus steel with a hardness of 59-60 Rockwell. The 66 layers include 34 layers of SUS 430 and 32 layers of SUS 431 stainless steel. In total, 67 layers of finest Japanese damascus steel. The handle is made from Ebony wood, hence it should not be put into the dish washer. The thimble is made of VG-10 steel and a hygienic passage between blade and handle. The sharp blade has a Japanese V-grinding which makes the sharpening with a whetstone possible. The knife comes with a beautiful and excellent wooden box. Weight of the box: 260g

One of my favorite kitchen knives!
I love this knife! It is small and very sturdy, very sharp and nicely made. The handle is a beautiful piece of wood with real character in the grain, and the blade is thick and sturdy and beautiful and holds its edge very well. This is not the kind of paring knife you would use to carve delicate flowers into apples and strawberrys, though. It is a thicker more cutting-oriented blade, and I think, the kind of knife that will last a lifetime if I take care of it even a little bit.
