Premium steel blades are made with Cr-V steel that is drop-forged for strength and durability.
Cryogenic treatment involves cooling to -190°C (-310°F) to improve toughness, strength, and wear resistance.
Precision ground blades are finely ground and polished for a mirror-like finish; blade sides are ground to taper in thickness for straight cutting.
The bevel angle is versatile with a 25-degree front bevel; it is recommended to have a secondary bevel of 30-35 degrees for hard wood.
Durability is reinforced with double solid stainless-steel ferrules and a leather washer to prevent splitting; the top ferrule is pinned to prevent detachment.
