Blade Hardness

HRC (Rockwell Hardness) measures how hard the blade's steel is. Kitchen knife steel typically falls in the high-50s to mid-60s on this scale. Harder steel is built to hold a fine edge over long use, while softer steel favors flexibility and easy resharpening. The right HRC depends on the steel and design, not a single higher-is-better number.

Stain Resistant

This steel resists rust and staining from moisture and acidic foods, making it easy to maintain with routine care.

Saya Cover

This knife does not automatically come with a saya cover included. Adding one with your order lets us shape it to this exact blade, a fit no aftermarket cover can match. A saya purchased separately later is cut to standard dimensions rather than this specific blade, so the fit is left to chance.
