Luxor 7" Santoku Knife

Damascus VG10 Blade, 67 Layers with Forged Quality Bolster from Exclusive Stainless Steel

The Damascus VG10 steel is renowned for its strength and edge retention, with 67 layers providing exceptional hardness, sharpness and durability. The Damascus steel contains 0.95-1.05% carbon, which makes it more than three times as hard as other knives in its class normally with 0.3% carbon. Besides, the forging process increases the blade's resilience while the stainless steel bolster contributes to the knife's balance and adds to its aesthetic appeal.

Full Tang with Contour Curved Handle for Amazing Grip and Added Weight for Balance

A full tang design ensures the blade's stability and strength, extending through the handle for better balance and leverage. The contour curved handle provides a comfortable and secure grip, while the added weight improves handling. Double rivets enhance the handle's durability and ensure long term reliability, with a touch of German tradition.

Hi-Density Fiber and Durable Handle, Reduces Fatigue and Stain-Free

The high-density fiber handle is designed for comfort and durability, reducing hand fatigue during prolonged use. Being stain-free, it maintains hygiene and is easy to clean, crucial for kitchen safety and maintenance.

58-60 Rockwell Hardness with 15-17 Edge Angle Degree, Outstanding Cutting Performance, and Beautiful Hammering Texture

The 58-60 Rockwell hardness indicates a hard, durable blade that maintains its edge well. The 15-17 degree edge angle, deemed as “Golden Angle” of a knife, allows for sharp, precise cuts. The hammering texture adds to the aesthetic value by retaining the original pattern of the VG10 steel being forged.

Oil-Hardened Blades, Remarkably Sharp, Stay Sharper Longer, Highly Corrosion Resistant

Oil quenching heat treatment (Oil hardening) involves heating the knife and then rapidly cooling it in oil. The advantages of this process include preventing prolonged exposure to air, which controls the formation of surface oxidation layers. Oil quenching also results in higher hardness (1-2HRC higher) compared to air cooling in the same temperature range. The oil used in the quenching process covers the blade surface, preventing oxidation and resulting in better toughness and rust resistance compared to conventional heat treatment.
