The blade is forged, heat-treated, and includes a round brass fitting, but it does not include a finished handle. You will need to attach your own handle material (such as wood, resin, or horn) to complete the knife. This makes it ideal for DIY crafters and knife-making hobbyists.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eQ: What type of tea is this knife designed for?\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA: This tea needle blade is specifically designed for Pu'er tea (also spelled Puerh), which comes in tightly compressed forms such as cakes, bricks, and tuo cha. The pointed blade and sturdy construction allow you to carefully pry apart the compressed leaves without crushing them.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eQ: What does 53–55 HRC hardness mean for a tea knife?\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA: HRC (Rockwell Hardness Scale C) measures the hardness of the steel. At 53–55 HRC, this Damascus steel blade offers a strong balance between toughness and edge retention — firm enough to handle dense compressed tea cakes without chipping or bending.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eQ: Is the Damascus pattern on each blade unique?\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA: Yes! Because each blade is hand-forged, the layered Damascus pattern is entirely unique to that individual piece. No two blanks will have exactly the same visual pattern, making every finished knife one-of-a-kind.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c!-- production-packaging-notice --\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eProduction \u0026amp; Packaging Notice\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTo maintain high stock availability and fast shipping times, our items are sourced from multiple verified manufacturing facilities.
