It needs to be robust enough for root vegetables, yet agile enough for shallots. The Blickling is designed to be the knife you reach for 90% of the time.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"7\"\u003e\u003cb data-path-to-node=\"7\" data-index-in-node=\"0\"\u003eThe Steel: 3-Layer San Mai\u003c\/b\u003e At its core is \u003cb data-path-to-node=\"7\" data-index-in-node=\"42\"\u003eAUS-10\u003c\/b\u003e, a premium high-carbon Japanese steel hardened to \u003cb data-path-to-node=\"7\" data-index-in-node=\"99\"\u003e60 HRC\u003c\/b\u003e. This offers the edge retention of a pro blade but with added durability. This hard core is sandwiched between two layers of softer stainless steel (the \"San Mai\" method). This protects the brittle core and gives the blade its signature strength. The surface is finished with a traditional hammered texture, which creates air pockets to stop food from sticking to the blade.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"8\"\u003e\u003cb data-path-to-node=\"8\" data-index-in-node=\"0\"\u003eThe Handle: Italian Olive Wood\u003c\/b\u003e We’ve moved away from synthetic plastics. The handle is sculpted from natural Olive Wood, chosen for its warmth and grip. Because it’s a natural material, the grain on every single knife is unique.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"9\"\u003e\u003cb data-path-to-node=\"9\" data-index-in-node=\"0\"\u003eThe Norvic Difference: Hand-Finished in Norfolk\u003c\/b\u003e Most brands ship knives straight from the factory box. We don't. Before this knife reaches you, it is processed in our Norfolk workshop. We regrind the edge on a water-cooled Tormek stone to a precise \u003cb data-path-to-node=\"9\" data-index-in-node=\"249\"\u003e15 degrees\u003c\/b\u003e, then hone it on leather, and finally strop it with \u003cb data-path-to-node=\"9\" data-index-in-node=\"312\"\u003e1-micron diamond suspension\u003c\/b\u003e. The result? A \"silent\" edge that glides through prep work without dragging or tearing.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"10\"\u003e\u003cb data-path-to-node=\"10\" data-index-in-node=\"0\"\u003eSpecifications:\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul data-path-to-node=\"11\"\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"11,0,0\"\u003e\u003cb data-path-to-node=\"11,0,0\" data-index-in-node=\"0\"\u003eCore Steel:\u003c\/b\u003e Japanese AUS-10 (60 HRC)\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"11,1,0\"\u003e\u003cb data-path-to-node=\"11,1,0\" data-index-in-node=\"0\"\u003eConstruction:\u003c\/b\u003e 3-Layer San Mai with Hammered Finish\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"11,2,0\"\u003e\u003cb data-path-to-node=\"11,2,0\" data-index-in-node=\"0\"\u003eHandle:\u003c\/b\u003e Natural Olive Wood (Ergonomic Octagonal profile)\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"11,3,0\"\u003e\u003cb data-path-to-node=\"11,3,0\" data-index-in-node=\"0\"\u003eThe Edge:\u003c\/b\u003e Polished using 1 micron diamond abrasive\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"11,4,0\"\u003e\u003cb data-path-to-node=\"11,4,0\" data-index-in-node=\"0\"\u003eIncludes:\u003c\/b\u003e Magnetic Wooden Blade Guard (Saya)\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"12\"\u003e\u003ci data-path-to-node=\"12\" data-index-in-node=\"0\"\u003eCare Note: This knife contains high-carbon steel and natural wood.
