Coreless knives are knives that are not forged in the traditional Japanese San-mai technique, but forged by overlapping two high-quality steels. In this case, they are VG10 and VG2 steels, and the quality of their joint is reflected in an extremely hard blade, better sharpness retention and a nicer and better cutting feeling than is the case with other knives made of VG10 steel. The very appearance of the knife is stunning, the blade, which is completely made in the Damascus pattern, which is the result of the multi-layer overlapping of these two steels, attracts attention at first glance.

The shape of this knife is called "Tank" and it does not resemble any known Japanese knife shape. Its name refers to the width, which is proportionally impressive to the size of the blade. It will be your favorite chopping knife and you can use it for other tasks where longer cuts are required.

The octagonal handle made of Wenge wood provides maximum comfort in the hand and its edges are slightly rounded to ensure a perfect grip.
