Forged from 1084 and 15N20, this WAYO gets its name, Perpendicular Twist, from the construction of the Damascus, with layered billets running perpendicular to each other before being twisted and forged to shape, following the profile of the blade. The result is an organic pattern with plenty of movement through the blade. The agro S-grind gives it a lively, light feel at the board, while a cast bronze bolster cap carries a complementary pattern. The figured Padauk handle has a curly, twisted grain that also picks up the movement of the steel.
