Description
AUS-10 is a type of high-carbon stainless steel used to produce knives. It is considered high-quality steel with a good balance of toughness, sharpness, and corrosion resistance. AUS-10 steel is often compared to other high-carbon stainless steels such as VG-10 and 440C and is considered to be a step up in quality from commonly used knife steels such as 420 and 420HC. It is commonly used in Japanese knives, such as Santoku, Gyuto and utility knives.

Care and Maintenance
Taking good care of your handmade knife is essential to ensure its longevity and maintain its cutting performance. Here are some care and maintenance suggestions:
Safe Handling:
- Handle the knife with caution, as it is extremely sharp. Always be mindful of your fingers and avoid contact with the blade's edge.
- Keep the knife out of the reach of children to prevent accidents or injuries.
Proper Use:
- Limit the knife's usage to cooking purposes only. Avoid using it for tasks like opening cans or boxes, which can damage the blade.
Cleaning:
- After each use, hand wash the knife using mild dish soap and warm water. Avoid harsh detergents or abrasive cleaners that can damage the blade or handle.
- Carefully clean both sides of the blade, the handle, and any other exposed parts.
- Rinse the knife thoroughly to remove all soap residue.
Drying:
- Dry the knife immediately after washing to prevent moisture buildup, which can lead to rust.
- Use a soft, clean cloth to wipe the blade and handle completely dry. Ensure there are no water spots left.
Storage:
- Store the knife in a safe and dry place, away from moisture and humidity.
- Consider using a knife sheath or blade guard to protect the blade from accidental damage and to prevent injuries when retrieving or storing the knife.
Sharpening:
- To maintain satisfactory cutting performance, it is recommended to re-sharpen the knife once or twice per month. However, this frequency may vary depending on the knife's usage and your personal preference.
- Use a sharpening stone or honing rod designed for kitchen knives to restore the blade's sharpness. Follow the manufacturer's instructions or seek guidance from a professional if you're unsure about the sharpening process.
By following these care and maintenance practices, you can ensure that your handmade knife remains sharp, safe to use, and lasts for a long time.

from 49 reviewsHonestly, it's a good product for the price!
But I would recommand to put some flax oil (or mineral) on the handle before use.
Excellent set and the customer service was fabulous.
I highly recommend them.

It’s just the perfect things I need for cutting vegetables, meat and fish
This knife fits in the hand beautifully. Love the weight and oh man it's crazy sharp ! Highly recommend
Beautiful blade Gorgeous handle nice and sharp ! My only thing some nakiris online are quite tall almost looking like a cleaver this blade is shorter in height but it handles itself beautifully
Super light sharp blade ! My only comment is if you are looking at the photos the blade may look a little more blue in the photos posted then what I received but amazing quality and looks great still
Great little knife blade is sharp fits well in the hand a little large for a paring knife a little small for a utility knife it falls right in the middle which is nice especially with working with fruit
Handle looks just as pictured teeth are nice and sharp very happy great bang for your buck
