This ensures a unique cutting experience and saves time. The distinctive mother-of-pearl ring made of abalone shell and the carefully selected desert ironwood ensure an extraordinary look. Each knife is unique. The Damascus grain and the unique structure of the abalone shell are different in each knife. The notches in the handle fit every hand and ensure particularly comfortable and safe handling even during longer cooking sessions. Best cutting results for left- and right-handed users, thanks to the flat grinding of the blade on both sides and the universal handle. The Aristocratic Line is durable and stable from the core to the outside because the steel has been treated to the highest standards under vacuum at 1100 °C. Therefore, this blade has a high hardness of 61 ± 1 HRC. The blade retains its sharpness for a particularly long time because each knife is quenched at -180 °C.
