ANGLD knife blades are forged from premium Japanese AUS-10 Steel, expertly produced by the renowned Aichi Steel corporation. Thanks to its high carbon content, AUS-10 steel (at HRC60+) can be hardened significantly more than standard European steels (which often sit around HRC 56). This hardness allows the blade to take - and hold - an ultra-thin, razor-sharp 15° angle for much longer. 

​

AUS-10 is enriched with Chromium and Nickel. This gives you the cutting power of a pro knife with the easy maintenance of stainless steel.

​

AUS-10 is enhanced with Vanadium, making it incredibly hard without being overly brittle. This means it is less prone to micro-chipping during daily kitchen tasks compared to many other ultra-hard steel types.

​

The 15° edge creates significantly less friction as it moves through food, so you don't need to press down; the weight of the knife does the work for you. The narrower angle allows for paper-thin slices that thicker blades simply cannot achieve.
