Why Nitro-V?
NitroV is a nitrogen-alloyed stainless steel designed specifically for cutlery, offering an excellent balance of properties ideal for a high-performance chef's knife, such as high strength, excellent corrosion resistance, and ability to attain a 62HRC on the Rockwell Hardness Scale. All these attributes combine for an excellent performing blade with a fine grain structure that maintains toughness and edge retention while still being easy to sharpen.  

What is a Hamaguri Grind?
The Hamaguri grind, also known as a convex/apple seed grind, is an edge geometry for chef’s knives, particularly those of Japanese origin. Named for its resemblance to a clam shell. The shape provides greater support behind the cutting edge and minimizes friction between the steel and material being cut to allow for faster, cleaner, and smoother cutting and slicing.
