Shaggs LLC unveils a look at the new VG-10 Stainless Damascus which is defined by its unique pattern on the blade itself. It has a marbled finish resembling the look of a fingerprint -- Shaggs LLC is the designer and builder of Greno. This is a hand-forged fixed-blade knife that houses a VG-10 steel. Most Damascus steel blades have a double-tonal design to bring attention to the marbling. The Greno is different as it houses the premium cutlery-grade stainless steel material that is produced in Japan. This results in a marbling visual unique to itself along with a 4.5-inch blade that is held by a 4.3-inch handle. This is an artful piece beyond its function.
