The durable 48 layers of damast steel protect the fine carbide distribution of the Revolutionary FC61 steel core. This fine carbide distribution is responsible for the razor-sharp and durable nature of the blade, which has a Rockwell hardness of 61. The double ice-hardening of the FRIODUR blade grants it remarkable durability and an exceptionally long-lasting cutting edge.

The blade is meticulously hand-honed using the traditional Honbazuke method, resulting in a sharpness of 9.5 to 12 degrees. This painstaking sharpening process gives the blade an authentic, thin Japanese profile. The combination of the high-quality steel, precise hardening, and careful sharpening allows this blade to excel in both performance and aesthetic.
