James ★★★★★

The AUS-10V core took a screaming edge right out of the box, and that crimson handle feels rock-solid even with wet hands. It glides through tomatoes like they're butter, and the balance is spot-on for the price.

Julian J. ★★★★★

The 66-layer Damascus pattern on this blade is what sold me, and it’s even more striking in person than in the photos. I’ve been using it for a week of heavy veg prep and the AUS-10V core still feels like it hasn’t dulled a bit, which is saying something for a home cook like me.

Ruby ★★★★★

The 66-layer Damascus cladding is even more striking in person, and the AUS-10V core took a razor edge right out of the box. It glides through tomatoes without crushing them, which is exactly what I hoped for.
