This all-purpose knife is an essential piece of kitchen equipment! With its 15cm blade, it's the perfect compromise for precision slicing or cutting larger pieces. You can cut many types of food: meat, fruit or vegetables with ease! Just be careful not to cut too hard foods such as squash or bones.
Damascus blade for optimal cuts
This Japanese kitchen knife features a damascened blade: a forging technique that consists of creating a rigid steel core which is then surrounded by several layers of softer steel. This process gives your blade optimum balance while protecting its core.
The core of this blade is made of high-quality Japanese VG10 steel. It includes around 1% carbon, which increases its hardness. In fact, this blade has a hardness of 60HRC Rockwell to give you a long-lasting, high-performance edge!
To complete the damascus, 68 layers of softer stainless steel are added around the core to balance the rigid core. In fact, you can observe the superimposition of the various steel layers all over the blade surface, where they form fine waves with unique patterns.
A Japanese knife with a practical handle
The handle of this Japanese knife is made of pakka wood, a composite material renowned for its strength. It's made from resin and laminated wood, all heat-compressed to guarantee strength. What's more, one of the advantages of this material is its natural, wood-like grain.
This damascus knife has been shaped to fit the hands of all cooks, right- and left-handed alike! The handle offers an ergonomic grip for comfortable use, particularly when used for long periods.
For added reliability, 3 rivets secure the full tang blade to the handle. In addition, a stainless steel bolster provides the ideal balance between blade and handle!
To care for your Japanese utility knife, wash only by hand with a soft sponge. Once cleaned, wipe dry immediately to remove all traces of moisture and store in a dry place. Do not put in the dishwasher or leave to soak in the sink.
