Why chefs choose Japanese chef's knife SHI-314

The SHI-314 chef's knife combines an extremely hard core with a multi-layer Damascus steel blade of 67 layers. The layered structure gives a blade that is both hard and flexible, and the hardness of the core determines how long the edge lasts. The higher the HRC value, the longer the knife stays sharp and the less often it needs sharpening on a whetstone.

The Damascus steel surface structure is part of the construction and gives each knife its own layer pattern.
