Professional Opinion
Nineteen layers of Damascus with refined blade geometry put this between the D-17 and the Wood editions in the Sword hierarchy. At 58 to 62 HRC with a convex edge it handles precision wet and dry work, and 5.5, 6.0, and 6.5 inch lengths cover most cutting styles.
Maintenance Tips
- Wipe blades after each client
