The form is carefully designed for ease of use. The surface is first treated with shot blasting using fine steel particles, creating a subtle matte texture, and is then finished with a black oxide treatment.The result is a piece that combines a sense of luxury with a calm, rustic matte character. It pairs well with a wide variety of dishes and tableware, making it suitable for both everyday meals and special dinners. As it ages with use, the surface develops a richer character, allowing you to enjoy it as your own personal cutlery that evolves over time. Much like well-worn denim or aged leather, its changing appearance becomes part of its charm. Black oxide finishing differs from conventional coating or painting. Instead of covering the metal with paint, it chemically reacts with the metal itself to create a blackened surface. By immersing the metal in a specialized solution, an extremely thin layer called an oxide film forms on the surface, resulting in a black finish that preserves the natural texture of the material. Glossy metals develop a deep, lustrous black, while matte metals become a calm, subdued black. Because this process has minimal impact on dimensional accuracy, it has long been used in industrial applications. Through this technique, a material often perceived as cold and inorganic gains warmth and depth—something we hope you will naturally experience in everyday use. About the knife’s sharpnessThe knife is made from steel suitable for black oxide finishing. As a result, its sharpness may be slightly lower than that of knives made from typical blade steels. ＜Notes on the Black Oxide Finish＞A small amount of black residue (soot) may remain. This is iron oxide produced during the chemical reaction and is harmless to the human body.Slight variations in the black finish may occur, giving each piece a unique appearance.Marks from manufacturing fixtures or traces of solution flow may remain as part of the production process.Certain substances that come into contact with the surface may cause a chemical reaction and result in spotting on the metal.If oil or moisture remains on the surface, it may cause stains or rust.Scrubbing with hard or sharp objects may cause the black finish to wear.With long-term use, the black finish may gradually become lighter. Leaving dirt or residue on the surface for extended periods may lead to discoloration or rust.
