154 CM High Carbon Stainless Steel is a standout choice for high-end culinary knives, widely respected for its exceptional combination of qualities that meet the demanding needs of professional chefs. It’s a fine-grain, stainless steel known for its ability to achieve an extremely sharp edge and hold it for long periods, making it ideal for precision cutting. The steel's fine grain structure allows for a smooth, polished edge that resists food particles and minimizes drag during slicing, which is essential when working with delicate ingredients.

What really sets 154 CM High Carbon Stainless Steel apart is its high hardness, which allows for long-lasting sharpness, and its balanced corrosion resistance that helps it maintain durability and prevent rusting, even in humid, high-moisture environments like kitchens. It’s also known for its ability to form a large volume of fine carbides, which not only enhances wear resistance but also maintains the toughness needed to prevent chipping during tough tasks like cutting through bone or frozen foods.

Cocobolo is a classic tropical oily hardwood that collectors have prized for generations because of its bright colors, dense, heavy feel, and durability. Beloved for the rich, varying colors and swirling grain patterns, it has been a favorite for makers and luthiers for many years.
