    Clay Tempering Process:
    To optimize the cutting edge and the resilience of the blade, a differential heat-treatment technique is employed.
    The blade is coated in layers of clay prior to heating; a thinner layer on the edge allows for rapid cooling to maximize hardness, while a thicker layer on the spine ensures slower cooling for increased flexibility.
    This creates a durable blade capable of absorbing shock without breaking.
