20cm Kutoyama damask Azur Chinese cleaver

The Chinese chef's knife with a sturdy handle

This Chinese chef's knife is ideal for a wide range of cuts! Thanks to its blade, you can cut vegetables, boneless meat, crush garlic cloves or chop herbs. Be careful not to use it on hard foods such as squash, bones or frozen foods.

This kitchen knife features a damascened blade with a rigid steel core, covered by 66 layers of softer stainless steel. Polished to a mirror finish, the blade features a distinctive damask pattern.

The blade core is made from VG10 steel, an alloy enriched with around 1% carbon, increasing its hardness to 60HRC on the Rockwell scale. This steel is also enriched with chromium and molybdenum for enhanced strength.

With this hardness, the cutting edge can be maintained with a Sharpening stone or, on a more regular basis, with a Sharpening steel for daily sharpening.

The handle of this Chinese chef's knife is made of blue resin, a material that is both durable and solid. This blue blends perfectly with the light wood look at the base of the handle. A black and yellow ring between bolster and handle adds a distinctive touch of color. The bolster and base are made of stainless steel.

The handle is almost oval in shape, making it suitable for both left- and right-handed cooks, offering a comfortable grip, even for prolonged use.

Made in China, this stainless steel knife is presented in a box for added protection.

To care for your Damascus knife, wash only by hand. After cleaning, wipe dry immediately before storing in a dry place. Do not put in the dishwasher or soak in the sink.
