This most exclusive of blades is fired at an immensely high temperature using a unique closely guarded secret system known as "Hot-Isostatic-Press" which compresses the material so that it appears black, in fact no dye is used. This lengthy and perilous process involves skill and precision so the production of these ultra fine blades is limited to one black for every 75 white knives. The black ceramic is stronger than its white cousin and considerably sharper, and is probably the sexiest looking blade in the world.

Laminated wood with silicon injection is used to form the beautiful JKC ergonomic handle that provides the perfect 'hold' for sustained and comfortable use.
