Blade that stands out Tojiro's Flash blade is made of Damascus stainless steel, renowned for centuries for its sharpness and durability, as well as for its impressive water-like appearance, which makes each knife literally unique. Specifically, the core of the blade is made of the innovative Japanese VG10 stainless steel alloy, characteristic for its hardness thanks to its cobalt, which is enclosed in separate Damascus layers, thus enhancing its toughness and durability. Each knife is sharpened by experienced Japanese craftsmen on both sides at 15 ° to receive a sharp knife.

Whatever knife you use, it will eventually need to get sharpened to remain in high performance. Hard steel knives (high Rockwell) such as the Japanese and especially if they are sharpened on one side, it is recommended to sharpen exclusively with stone to achieve the best possible sharpening while protecting the blade of the knife to continue to have the highest possible performance.
