Wusthof Ltd Edition Aeon Santoku Knife 17cm

Aeon is the new premium limited-edition series from Wusthof. Combining 3,249-year-old bog oak timber with a high-tech Diamond-like Carbon (DLC) coating to create a knife that is a design object, hard-wearing tool and a record of history at the same time, this series forges a bridge from the Iron Age to the present day.

As a contrast to the centuries-old oak, a highly advanced technique is used for the blade – a technique that is principally used in space travel, motorsport and medicine. The black surface (amorphous carbon) is created by transforming steel using a hot carbon and hydrogen gas, ensuring incredible strength and durability.

With a Diamond-Like Carbon Coating, the surface strength almost doubles from 54° to 104° HRC without the knife steel becoming brittle, and strong temperatures and corrosion can’t harm the blade. It further results in a black-looking blade, but also a particularly high level of resistance to scratching and a reduction in sliding resistance at the same time.

Old as Earth. Beautiful as Heaven. Sharp as Hell.
