Violet ★★★★★

The 66-layer Damascus cladding is stunning in person, almost too pretty to use. But once I started breaking down a chuck roast, the weight and AUS-10V core made every cut feel effortless, and it’s still razor sharp after a week of heavy use.

Abigail ★★★★★

The AUS-10V core holds an edge way longer than my old German knives, and the 66-layer cladding catches light like a ribbon. It glides through a beef brisket seam almost without pressure, and the balance sits right at my index finger. I've only had it a week, but I'm already reaching for it over ever

Joseph M. ★★★★☆

The 66-layer Damascus cladding gives this knife a gorgeous look, but what really stands out is how balanced it feels during a long butchering session. I’d give it a perfect score if the handle weren’t slightly slick when my hands get wet.
