You can chop, cut and slice a wide range of food with it, from vegetables and fruit to meat, fish and bread. The blade is forged from 67 layers of Damascus steel and paired with a black Micarta handle.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eBlade and steel\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eForged from \u003cstrong\u003e67 layers of Damascus steel\u003c\/strong\u003e, the blade is hardened to \u003cstrong\u003e60–61 HRC\u003c\/strong\u003e. That hardness keeps the edge sharp for a long time, so you spend more of your prep time cutting and less of it sharpening. A hard edge also asks for a little care: keep it away from bones, frozen food and glass boards.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe \u003cstrong\u003edouble-bevel edge\u003c\/strong\u003e is sharpened by hand on both sides at a factory angle of 16–18°. Because it is ground on both sides, it is straightforward to maintain on a whetstone.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eHandle and balance\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe oval \u003cstrong\u003eblack Micarta\u003c\/strong\u003e handle is highly durable, ergonomically contoured and resistant to moisture. The Damascus 67 series is built with a precision-measured balance and a carefully shifted centre of gravity, so the knife stays comfortable and easy to control, even with tender, delicate food. It weighs 222 g and measures 365 mm overall.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eBest uses\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eChopping vegetables and dicing onions\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSlicing, dicing and portioning meat\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCutting and portioning fish\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSlicing fruit\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCutting bread\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch2\u003eCare and sharpening\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eBefore first use, rinse the knife with hot water and wipe it dry. Wash it by hand with non-abrasive materials and dry it straight away; a dishwasher is not recommended, and the knife should not sit in the sink for long. Use wooden or plastic boards rather than glass, and turn to a SAMURA cleaver for bones and a double-sided serrated saw knife for frozen food. Keep the original factory angle of 16–18° when you sharpen on a whetstone, hone the edge on a rod between sharpenings, and store the knife in a brush block or knife holder where the blade does not touch metal.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eAbout the Damascus 67 series\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eEvery knife in the \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/damascus-67\"\u003eDamascus 67 collection\u003c\/a\u003e, also known as 67 Damascus, is forged from 67 layers of Damascus steel and fitted with an oval Micarta handle built for durability.
