Our Dynasty Series blades are ferociously sharp and made from our own specially formulated German ThyssenKrupp 1.4116 Stainless Steel for greatly enhanced corrosion, rust resistance, and steel strength, due in part to a high order of Chromium included in the steel’s composition.

Stately and sublime, our Japanese AUS-8 steel blades meet the standard of a tough, rust-resistant knife with a significantly long lasting razor-sharp edge. Carbon and Molybdenum explains rigity and high wear resistance, Chromium and Nickel increases mechanical strength and edge retention, and Manganese helps increase hardness, reduce structural wear, and making for easy sharpening. Alluring and gorgeous, with a visually stunning pattern that changes with the light like a hologram, our carbon fiber + G10 handle is arguably the most qualitative of our series.
