Chef's knife 20cm Kutoyama damas pakka rainbow

A chef' s knife with a damascus blade

The chef's knife is a multi-purpose model that's very practical in the kitchen! With it, you can make a wide range of cuts: chop your meat, chop your herbs and slice your vegetables with ease. Just be careful not to use it on hard foods such as squash or bones.

This kitchen knife features a damascened blade, the result of a technique consisting in creating a rigid steel core which is then covered with several layers of softer steel. For this blade, 66 layers of stainless steel are added.

VG10 steel is used for the core, an alloy containing 1% carbon to increase the blade's hardness. As a result, the blade reaches 60HRC on the Rockwell scale. This steel is also enriched with molybdenum and chromium for added strength.

With this hardness, the cutting edge can be maintained more regularly with a Sharpening stone or Sharpening steel.

This blade has been polished to obtain a mirror effect, so you can observe the superimposed layers of steel all over the blade's surface.

The shape of this handle is almost oval, to suit the hands of all cooks. It provides a comfortable grip that's practical for long-term use.

This stainless steel knife is made in China and comes in a box for added protection.

To care for this knife, wash only by hand, dry immediately and store in a dry place. Do not put it in the dishwasher, nor leave it to soak in the sink.
