During normal use, the two steels will wear at different rates creating micro serrations along the herringbone edge so that the Dual Core’s extremely sharp edge feels sharp longer. Etched laminations in the blade reduce drag, helping food release from the blade, gliding through each cut quickly and easily. The blade is thin, light, and strong. Traditional Japanese octagon-shaped handle in ebony PakkaWood complete the look of this beautiful knife.
