I.O. Shen Knives
The unique handle design features a knife that quickly sets you apart from the rest. The Japanese knives have a distinguished tempering process and a Rockwell Hardness of 62 layered between softer steels. The VG10 core allows for a sharp edge that makes this knife an excellent choice for both industry and home use. If you are looking to upgrade from German steel to Japanese steel, then the I.O. is a great choice. I.O.Shen handles are heavier and have the weight of a traditional German knife with the added benefit of Japanese steel which has been honed to a 15 degree angle. The special blade and handle distinguish this knife from any other.
