Damasteel® Stainless Blade

Damasteel® stainless Damascus steel is made using powder metallurgy, combining two stainless-steel alloys in powder form that are compacted, sintered, and forged into a homogeneous material. After grinding and polishing, the blade is acid-etched to reveal the contrasting layers that create the distinctive Sparse Twist™ pattern. With its flowing lines and widely spaced spirals, this pattern gives the blade a cleaner, more understated aesthetic, combining modern metallurgy with exceptional performance and timeless visual appeal.

Ziricote Wood Handle

Native to Central America, Ziricote wood is prized for its rich chocolate-brown tones, accented by subtle green and purple hues. Its distinctive grain forms striking patterns reminiscent of landscapes or intricate spiderwebs. Dense, hard, and highly durable, this rare luxury wood is often reserved for exceptional pieces, from fine musical instruments to the No.08 Damascus Limited Edition.
