You can use it for everyday prep of vegetables and fruit, boneless meat and fish, and it cuts bread too. Its 67-layer Damascus steel blade is paired with a black Micarta handle.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eBlade and steel\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe blade is forged from \u003cstrong\u003e67 layers of Damascus steel\u003c\/strong\u003e and hardened to \u003cstrong\u003e60–61 HRC\u003c\/strong\u003e. A hard blade holds its edge for a long time, so you spend more time cutting and less time sharpening. In return, a hard edge 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, with a factory sharpening angle of 16–18°. An edge ground on both sides is straightforward to maintain on a whetstone.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eHandle and balance\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe oval handle is made of \u003cstrong\u003eblack Micarta\u003c\/strong\u003e. It is highly durable, ergonomically contoured and resistant to moisture. The Damascus 67 series is designed 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. The santoku weighs 131 g and measures 300 mm overall.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eBest uses\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eChopping, slicing and dicing vegetables\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSlicing fruit\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCutting and portioning boneless meat\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSlicing and portioning fish\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCutting bread\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch2\u003eCare and sharpening\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eRinse the knife with hot water before first use, then wash it by hand with non-abrasive materials and wipe it dry; 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.
