Japanese AUS-8 Steel
SPECTRE SERIES
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 its rigidity and high wear resistance, Chromium and Nickel increases mechanical strength and edge retention, and Manganese helps increase hardness, reduce structural wear, and makes for easy sharpening.
Japanese AUS-8 High Carbon Steel
BLADE FEATURE
Hand sharpened to a perfect 14-degree angle per side for clean, precise cuts and amazing edge-retention, the vacuum heat treated and nitrogen-cooled blades are crafted from high carbon Japanese AUS-8 stainless steel for enhanced corrosion resistance. They have a Rockwell Hardness (HRC) of 58, providing maximum strength, flexibility, & blade edge durability. AUS-8 steel also incorporates vanadium, which further improves the blade’s durability and edge retention.
Durable Pakkawood
HANDLE FEATURE
Spectre Series handles have a contoured bolster which provides a comfortable pinch grip for enhanced knife control, and a stainless-steel laser etched end cap counterbalance. Pakkawood is used for both military and kitchen applications due to its incredible strength and exceptional density. It is nearly impervious to heat, cold, and moisture. The handle has full tang strength, which means the blade extends all the way through the entire handle, for lifelong durability and safety. Its seamless build ensures that no dirt or food debris can ever infiltrate its body, keeping the handle safe and hygienic in busy kitchens.
