Made from the finest materials
This masterpiece of the professional kitchen is forged with an authentic Japanese AUS-10 “Super-Steel” cutting core to ensure flexibility and maximum edge retention without dulling or chipping. 66 layers of high carbon stainless Damascus steel cladding add beauty as well as resilience against both rusting and corrosion.
Beauty and Brawn
Forged from a solid slab of steel, this knife boasts a true full-tang for ultimate durability. Radically hardened with our revolutionary cryogenic nitrogen cooling process, this blade is solid with an incredible 62+ on the Rockwell hardness scale. Clad with 33 layers on each side by genuine Damascus steel, the gentle rolling wave patterns are unique to each blade and intrinsic to the steel- not merely stamped or etched on like many imitators.
Geometrically Perfect and Scary Sharp
The angles of this blade represent the pinnacle of design and the accumulation of millennia of Kiritsuke knife making evolution. Finished to a mirror polish of within an astounding 8-12 degree angle per side using the traditional 3-step Honbazuke method, this blade is viciously sharp. The gently curved edge of the blade is ideal for promoting a rocking cut while the straight portion serves well for smooth up-down slicing.
Performance, Comfort, & Beauty
Military grade ergonomic G-10 handle is immune to cold, heat, and moisture. Nonporous and germ/bacteria resistant. This bolster allows easy access to sharpen the entire blade down to the blade heel. Optimal knuckle clearance gives room for use without knuckle interference. Rounded handle and tapered pinch-grip bolster encourage natural handling with perfect balance. Rosetta rivet adds a cherry on top to this magnificent culinary tool.
Testimonials From Actual Customers
Amazon Customer: Matthew
"The fit and finish of this knife is impeccable. There are no sharp edges between the handle, bolsters and tang, a problem area for a lot of manufacturers. The handle has a smooth rounded profile, that fits naturally when using the customary pinch grip. The small amount of extra weight added by the pommel (end cap) in the handle, helps keep the knife resting comfortably in your supporting fingers. The slight curve profile on the blade makes it friendly to rock chopping, but you still retain the benefits of the kiritsuke blade style."
"I can't say enough about the knife. I am so happy with it. It's sharp as hell. I cut myself twice already. Be careful! The company is great. They give free sharpening for life. I got the knife and the instructions were very clear how to register and get free sharpening forever. But so far the knife is holding up and nowhere near in need of sharpening."
Amazon Customer: Lori S.
"I am very impressed with the quality and SHARPNESS of this knife. I bought this as well as the bread knife (which went through a loaf of French bread like butter), and plan to continue purchasing the rest of their knives. The knives are also beautifully boxed which would make them perfect for a gift as well as storing them after cleaning. Love the lifetime guarantee!"
About The Emperor Series
Regalia is proud to present the Emperor Series. Each Regalia Emperor Series Knife is the culmination of a 60-day process of meticulous metallurgical mastery.
Featuring a cutting core forged from the finest AUS10V Japanese steel with an unbelievable 62+ on the Rockwell hardness scale for ultimate edge retention- that’s hard core steel!
Encompassing it’s core are 66 layers of high-carbon stainless Damascus steel cladding to shield against corrosion, stains, and rust while giving the blade its magnificent rolling wave Damascus pattern, which is unique to every knife.
Vacuum heat treatment removes low temperature by-products , resulting in higher metal purity and an elimination of defects, while precision cryogenic hardening with liquid nitrogen quenching, improves the metal’s crystalline structure adding hardness, flexibility, and resilience. All this, to bring you an incredibly solid, durable, and longer lasting blade.
Every Regalia Emperor Series blade is hand-finished to a brutally sharp 8-12 degree edge in the traditional 3-stage Honbazuke sharpening method. It’s been well established that a sharper blade is actually safer and this mirror-polished finish results in a surgical scalpel-like sharpness to allow clean and easy cuts every time.
The blade may be the “business end” of a knife, but the handle is your home.
The Regalia Emperor Series is a dream home, engineered with luxury and comfort in mind. A smooth angled and tapered bolster encourages the ideal pinch-grip hand positioning. The stunning hand-polished G-10 Garolite handle is non-porous, waterproof, cold and heat resistant, anti-bacterial and anti-germ.
Endowed with its signature angled end cap, the knife attains absolute zeroed balance at the knife’s natural pinch point. Robustly triple riveted to stand the test of time, adorning the handle is a mosaic center pin which crowns the Emperor Series with regal splendor.
