Its straight edge and flat blade are designed for chopping and slicing vegetables precisely and efficiently, and it also handles fruit. The hammered blade is 67-layer VG-10 Damascus steel, paired with a black G-10 handle.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eBlade and steel\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe blade is made from \u003cstrong\u003eVG-10 Damascus steel\u003c\/strong\u003e built up in \u003cstrong\u003e67 layers\u003c\/strong\u003e and hardened to \u003cstrong\u003e60–61 HRC\u003c\/strong\u003e. At this hardness the edge stays keen through regular use, and when it does dull, a whetstone brings it back. A hard edge asks for a little care in return: keep it away from bones, frozen food and glass boards.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe surface has a \u003cstrong\u003ehammered finish\u003c\/strong\u003e with irregular pocking, inspired by the surface of the moon. The \u003cstrong\u003edouble-bevel edge\u003c\/strong\u003e is ground on both sides, which makes it straightforward to maintain on a whetstone.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eHandle and balance\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe handle is made of \u003cstrong\u003eblack G-10\u003c\/strong\u003e, a high-pressure fibreglass of multilayered glass cloth soaked in epoxy resin. It is crafted to reduce moisture and strengthen the handle's structure, and the material is strong, lightweight and moisture-resistant. The handle has a stainless steel bolster. The knife weighs 231 g and measures 302 mm overall.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eBest uses\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eChopping vegetables precisely and efficiently\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSlicing vegetables\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDicing onions\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSlicing and cutting fruit\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch2\u003eCare and sharpening\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eBefore first use, rinse the knife with hot water and wipe it dry. After that, wash it by hand with non-abrasive materials and wipe it dry; a dishwasher is not recommended, and the knife should not be left in the sink for long. Cut on wooden or plastic boards, never on glass, and leave bones to a SAMURA cleaver and frozen food to a double-sided saw knife with a serrated blade. Use a honing rod between sharpenings and resharpen on a whetstone at the original factory bevel angle of 15–17°, then store the knife in a brush block or knife holder where the blade does not touch metal items.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eAbout the Pro-S Lunar series\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/pro-s-lunar\"\u003ePro-S Lunar collection\u003c\/a\u003e takes its look from the surface of the moon: hammered Damascus steel blades with irregular pocking that mirrors the moon's battered terrain.
