RAN 69 LAYERS:Blade:
The core material VG10 "super steel" is composed of Cobalt, Molybdenum, Vanadium and Carbon. VG10 stainless steel is clad with 34 layers of soft and hard high-carbon stainless steel on each side, producing 69 layered rust-resistant Damascus-look. The blade has an extremely sharp cutting edge. Our special heat treatment gives our blades the outstanding hardness rating of HRC61 on the Rockwell scale, ensuring long lasting cutting performance.
Handle:
The handle is made out of FDA-approved black Canvas-Micarta, which is an odorless and enormously durable material made of resin and linen. This material lasts decades. The end of the handle is made out of stainless steel, which gives the knife outstanding stability. Two stainless steel rivets fasten the handle tightly.
*Pakkawood is an artificial material that is manufactured for a very specific purpose, to be resilient and resistant to hard use. Pakkawood, while not a natural wood itself, still uses wood in its manufacturing process. Japanese knives are made for tough, repeated use and therefore need to be durable (especially to justify the initial investment as some Japanese knives can carry a substantial price tag!).
The reason why it is so easy to find a pakkawood knife. All is due to the fact that this material is hard wearing and resilient, which is designed to last as long as the material of the blade.

SUPER GOU: 161 LayersBlade
The blade core is made of ultra-hard SG2 Micro-Carbide powder stainless steel which is enveloped by 80 layers on each side with soft and hard stainless steel. This powdered steel contains a lot of carbon and has an unprecedented hardness of approximately 63 Rockwell. Powdered steel is used because it ensures a high degree of purity and exceptionally sharp cutting edge. The surface impresses with a fascinating Damascus design pattern - a symbol of the highest quality knife and its signature, Super GOU 161 layers.
Handle:
The beautiful handle is made out of FDA-approved red-black Canvas Micarta, which is an odorless and enormously durable material made of resin and linen. The Canvas material is dyed red and black and brilliantly finished. This material lasts decades. The handle is attached tightly using three stainless steel rivets. The handle is supported by the high quality 18-10 stainless steel inside, which gives the knife outstanding stability and balance. The trade mark 'GOU' is engraved on the grip end in a noble style. The shape of the handle allows tireless working in all cutting techniques.
