Why It Stands Out

The Sobu Series combines distinctive Damascus blade patterns with streamlined Blackwood handles. Its 67-layer X-7 steel construction, ULTRA6 heat treatment, 16-degree edge, and 60 HRC hardness are designed to balance sharpness, durability, and precision.

Instead of enclosing the blades in traditional slots, the solid acacia block holds the knives magnetically. This design showcases the Damascus patterns while keeping each knife within convenient reach.

Care & Safety

• Hand wash each knife immediately after use.

• Use warm water, mild dish soap, and a soft sponge.

• Do not clean the knives in a dishwasher.

• Dry the blades and handles completely before storage.

• Do not soak the knives or wooden block in water.

• Wipe the magnetic block with a lightly damp cloth and dry it immediately.

• Avoid bleach, abrasive cleaners, steel wool, and corrosive chemicals.

• Use wood, rubber, or suitable plastic cutting boards.

• Avoid cutting on glass, stone, ceramic, or metal surfaces.

• Do not use the knives to cut frozen foods, bones, or non-food materials unless the blade is designed for that task.

• Place each knife securely against the magnetic block.

• Keep sharp edges away from children and pets.

• Sharpen and maintain the blades using methods appropriate for a 16-degree edge.
