This knife was developed by our customers and made by master knife smith Devin Thomas. The handle is made from Bacote and the ferrule is black micarta. The blade is made from high quality AEB-L stainless steel with RC hardness of approximately 61-62. Spine is rounded and the edge is 50/50. Handle is octagonal in shape so these knives will be perfectly suited to both right and left handed users.
AEB-L gives you the best of both worlds, the convenience of stainless with the ability to take an acute edge. AEB-L steel was designed for razors, which need corrosion resistance, high hardness and very acute edges. Once you try a knife that is made with AEB-L you will see why it is coveted by knife enthusiasts and professionals. The knife will take a very keen edge just like the best carbon steels yet you don't have to worry about rusting. You will also find much better sharpening properties since AEB-L is less prone to produce wire edges that are so common when you sharpen most high end Japanese kitchen knives.
This knife is FANTASTIC! WOW! Seeing it in person,it is just unbelievable! The craftsmanship and attention to detail are top notch. The rounded spine and other rounded edges make this knife a joy to work with! The Wa handle is well sealed and has a solid feel. The knife cuts through food like butter. This knife is just flat AWESOME! You need to see this knife to believe it. I have many,many knives and this is now my go to cooking instrument!

This is the highest quality knife you can buy at the price. No where else are you going to get a hand made knife with flawless fit and finish for under $500. Its thick where it needs to be and razor thin where it needs to be. The perfect all-around knife.

The knife is well balanced (at the ferrule) . The AEB-L steel is really great,and takes a stupidly sharp edge. And its stainless!! The octagon handle is perfect even for people with big hands (and much better then dshaped handles).
I keep sayin: Everybody should have a DT in the kitchen.
