Mizu VG-10 Damascus Japanese Chef's Knife

Given the low angle, I suppose this is single-beveled?

Just wanted to let everyone know that this knife is an active drop once again! We've combined it with our AUS-8 Chef's Knife. You will find it as an upgrade option at the below link. https://www.massdrop.com/buy/mizu-aus-8-high-carbon-chefs-knife#overview

Thank you for all the support! The 67 layers not only provides an aesthetic purpose, but it also allows the core VG10 edge to be protected from rust and corrosion. Higher carbon blades tend to be more susceptible to environmental degradation. This is a great knife to be used as a workhorse knife and is fairly easy to resharpen (due to it not being fully made of high carbon material). The outside, softer SS layers mean you have less of the hard metal to sharpen away. While this knife could definitely be used to cut through bones and other hard items, we would not recommend you to do that. Knives that have higher HRC tend to also be more brittle. It's the trade off from softer to harder metals (you wouldn't use your ceramic knife on bone!) All in all, the worst case is you just spend some Zen time and buff out any dings that you may ultimately obtain on your knife.
