The pleasure of cutting guides every choice we make.

Our craftsmanship

## Steel and sharpening: at the heart of our craftsmanship

Edge retention depends on the quality of the steel and the precision of its sharpening. At Dune, we select steels for their balance of strength, precision and cutting feel.

The HRC rating measures steel hardness. Dune collections use steels from 59 to 62 HRC, each matched to a particular use and cutting experience.

### Forged 440C steel — 59 HRC

For Ambition: a balance of edge retention and resistance to oxidation.

### Japanese SUS440C steel — 60 HRC

For Origin: precise, consistent cutting in everyday work.

### Cobalt-enriched forged VG-10 steel — 62 HRC

For Signature: a smooth cutting feel and good wear resistance.

## Sharpening: the craft that makes a difference

Our hollow-ground blades have convex edges sharpened by hand. This work helps the blades cross precisely and smoothly, reduces friction and brings softness to the cut.

The edge supports your technique, from blunt cutting to thinning.
