The Kutoyama Damas Honeycomb range is distinguished by a strong combination of cutting performance and visual identity. It is aimed at cooks looking for high-performance knives capable of versatile cutting, with an original design. The knives in this range are made in China and packaged in a box for optimum protection during storage and transportation.
This range is based on a proven damascus blade construction and a handle combining resin and wood, designed to offer comfort, strength and aesthetic uniqueness.
Kutoyama Damas Honeycomb knives feature damascened blades built around a rigid central core, surrounded by 66 layers of softer stainless steel. This manufacturing technique achieves an excellent balance between cutting performance and stability in use. The different layers of steel are visible across the entire blade surface, forming the characteristic damascus pattern.
The blade core is made of VG10 steel, an alloy containing around 1% carbon. This carbon content enables it to achieve a hardness of around 60 HRC on the Rockwell scale, ensuring excellent edge retention over time. VG10 is also enriched with chromium and molybdenum, elements that improve the blade's corrosion resistance and stability during repeated cutting.
The blade has been polished to achieve a mirror-like effect, making it easy to clean after use while highlighting the superposition of steels. Thanks to this hardness, the cutting edge can be effectively maintained with a whetstone or, more regularly, with a rifle for daily sharpening.
The handles of Kutoyama Damas Honeycomb knives are made from a combination of resin and wood, two materials renowned for their strength and durability. Their combination creates honeycomb-like patterns, giving each knife a strong, original visual identity, while maintaining a stable structure suited to kitchen use.
An acrylic ring completes the handle, adding an extra touch of color and emphasizing the transition between the different materials. The bolster and base are made of stainless steel, ensuring a solid connection with the blade and contributing to the knife's overall balance.
The oval shape of the handle is designed to adapt naturally to the hand. It is suitable for both right-handed and left-handed cooks and offers a comfortable grip, even during prolonged use.
The Kutoyama Damascus Honeycomb range is the perfect choice for those who want to combine cutting performance with an assertive aesthetic. The combination of a damascus blade with a VG10 steel core and a resin and wood handle makes for a versatile, stable knife that's a pleasure to use every day. However, we recommend avoiding foods that are too hard, such as bones or squash, to preserve the sharpness and structure of the blade.
To preserve the knife's qualities, proper care is essential. We recommend washing the knife exclusively by hand, drying it immediately after cleaning and storing it in a dry place. Dishwashing and prolonged soaking in the sink should be avoided to preserve the blade and handle materials over time.
