How sharp is the blade and how long will it stay sharp?
The ASETY 8-inch blade uses a VG10 steel core hardened to around HRC 60, providing a durable cutting edge that resists dulling under normal home and professional use. It is factory-honed to a 10–15° angle per side, offering an immediate, precise slice straight from the box.
- VG10 core for strong edge retention and easier resharpening.
- 67-layer Damascus pattern around the core for added rigidity and attractive finish.
- V-shaped edge at 10–15° per side for versatile slicing, dicing, and chopping.
What materials and construction techniques make this knife durable?
This chef knife is constructed with a full tang and a layered Damascus cladding enveloping the VG10 center, which increases toughness and resists deformation. The triple-riveted G10 handle is a military-grade composite chosen for moisture resistance and long-term durability.
- Full-tang design for improved balance and reduced risk of handle separation.
- G10 handle resists humidity, heat, and wear for consistent grip.
