The HRC rating is the official Rockwell hardness rating of the metal. The higher the number, the harder the knife and the longer the blade will hold its edge. With Damascus Elite's Rockwell hardness rating (HRC) of 60, it is the optimal hardness for VG10 steel.
Damascus Elite
The last knives you'll ever need
About Damascus
Boasting unrivalled sharpness, exceptional performance and a truly unique appearance, Damascus Elite are designed to be the last knives you’ll ever need. Carefully crafted down to the very last detail, each knife is made from world-renowned Japanese Damascus steel, featuring a VG10 high carbon core for unmatched sharpness and durability.
Drawing inspiration from the traditional techniques of craftsmen in the Echizen region of Japan, each and every knife in the range is stone ground to a traditional 12° angle, ensuring optimal cutting precision.
VG10 Steel Composition
Using stainless steel containing 1% carbon, Damascus Elite knives offer outstanding edge retention. 15% chrome provides high corrosion resistance making the steel more resilient to tarnishing and general stains.
