The Shogun Series  blade is precision forged from
a single piece of ultra premium Japanese high-carbon AUS-10V steel with 67-alternating layers of SUS410 damasucs cladding for stain-resistance and durability. Precise cryogenic tempering with liquid nitrogen increases the steel's crystalline structure, enhancing strength, flexibility and hardness.

Hand-polishing reveals a magnificent visual pattern, Dalstrong’s‘Tsunami Rose’.

Each knife is hand-finished in the Honbazuke 3-step method, creating a beautiful mirror polished edge at a staggeringly acute 8-10 degrees.

Beautifully engraved into the blade near the bolster is the Dalstrong lionhead logo for further refinement.

It is highly impervious to both heat and moisture with life-long durability.
