19cm Kutoyama damascus honeycomb Chef's knife

A damask blade for this kitchen knife

The chef's knife is a multi-purpose model that lets you make a wide range of cuts! You can easily mince your meat, chop your herbs or slice your vegetables. Just be careful not to use it on hard foods such as bones or squash.

This knife features a damascened blade, a technique involving the creation of a rigid steel core which is then surrounded by several layers of softer steel. For this knife, 66 layers of stainless steel surround the core of the blade.

The blade core is made of VG10 steel, an alloy enriched with approximately 1% carbon. This element increases the blade's hardness to 60HRC on the Rockwell scale. This alloy also contains a high chromium and molybdenum content.

Thanks to this hardness, the edge of this blade can be maintained with a Sharpening stone or, more regularly, with a Sharpening steel.

What's more, this blade has been polished to a mirror-like finish, so you can see the different layers of steel superimposed over the entire surface.

The knife with resin and wood handle

This chef's knife has a handle made of resin and wood, both strong and durable materials. The two materials blend to form honeycomb patterns for an original design.

An acrylic ring completes the handle to add a touch of color. A stainless steel bolster and base are added to the rest of the handle.

The handle is oval-shaped to suit left- and right-handed users. It offers a comfortable grip for prolonged use.

This stainless steel knife is made in China and comes in a box!

To care for your Kutoyama knife, wash by hand only, dry immediately and store in a dry place. Do not use the dishwasher, and do not leave it to soak in the sink.
