The Kyoku Shogun Series is powerfully prestigious and progressively potent, made of cryogenically-hardened VG-10 steel wrapped between Damascus steel folded 33 times, which is the apex of modern Japanese cutlery, retaining its ultrafine edge and resisting corrosion to outlast the competition. Each blade is cryogenically treated using the traditional 3-step Honbazuke method for incredible hardness, flexibility, and corrosion resistance. The hollow-edge design ensures nothing sticks to the blade. Time-honored sword making methods make each Kyoku custom knife appear unique and result in a thinner, harder, and sharper blade than western knives. We blend ultramodern technology with ancient craftsmanship to create a scalpel-thin blade edge with powerful nonstick performance.
