Tomohiro knives collection has 33 layers of steel with a core language of Japanese VG-10 steel. The rear of the handle is provided with a steel pommel to press, for example. Garlic. These 33 layers of Damascus blades have a very thin specially forged VG10 steel central core protected by the 16 layers on each side. These blades are totally handmade; they are continuously pounded creating a wider and longer mass, which is then cut away by laser. This process is repeated several times resulting in a very light and thin blade with exceptional strength because of the multiple hammering, heating, and cooling process. Tomohiro handles are composed of stunning Red Pakkawood with Mosaic pin to fix the handle onto the full tang. The Bolster has a very gentle, deep, and long curve to minimize calluses and strains during prolonged use. Every knife has its own Black Cardboard box, which is useful for storage when not in use and presents well as a gift. Wash by soft sponge with kitchen detergent and rinse well after use. Not dishwasher safe. Store in a clean, dry place.
Please Note: The handle being natural wood can vary in colour.

Nicely made and even after a few weeks of use, remain sharp. Stiffer than some other bread knives out there which are too bendy.
