Blade: The blade of the Midori Paring Knife from Richardson Sheffield is hand forged and made from 67 layers of Damask steel. This ensures an exceptional hardness and sharpness of the blade and a beautiful appearance of the blade on which you can see the layers. Due to the fully manual finish, the cutting edge is extremely thin. All this benefits the ease of use and you feel like a Japanese chef.Heft: The name Midori is derived from the Japanese word for green which is not surprising with the color of the handle. The handle is made of so-called Micarta, which shapes to your hand and together with the grain structure provides a reference to the original wooden handle.
