Forged with ACUTO440 stainless steel for unsurpassed sharpness and edge retention, Glestain knives will keep you coming back for more. You'll be able to feel the difference of the thin convex grind that evokes images of traditional Japanese Samurai swords, lending itself to the sharpest and most durable edge. A pattern of hollow grinding on the face of the blade is added to help prevent food from sticking to the blade, making for a much smoother and enjoyable cutting experience.
