After cutting the steel into the blade's shape, it's heated until malleable, allowing the blacksmith to shape the blade precisely by striking one side to form an edge. This is followed by quenching: heating the steel to a high temperature and cooling it rapidly to increase the blade's hardness and durability.
The blade is refined and smoothed. Using grinding tools, the blacksmith carefully thins the edge and polishes the surface. This process removes any imperfections and prepares the blade for sharpening.
The blade is honed with increasing precision on a series of stones or belts. The edge is worked until it reaches a razor-sharp finish, ensuring it performs excellently in cutting tasks.
The handling stage highlights the knife's full tang construction, a design where the blade's metal extends throughout the handle. This feature guarantees superior balance, strength, and durability. We choose premium wood for the handle, shaping them to fit comfortably in the hand while enhancing the knife's aesthetic.
