These knives contain two different metals forged together to bring together the best of two different worlds. Soft steel is used on the back of the knife’s blade for the desired characteristics of flexibility and softness, while the blades cutting edge is made out of hardened steel to retain a more durable sharpness. As Kartmazov demonstrates through his finished body of work, art and functionality are fused together into one; these exquisite looking kitchen knives are built to perform well, and last over time.
