Its 240 mm blade is the longest in the Damascus series, and you can use it every day for chopping, slicing, shredding, dicing and mincing. The blade is made of 67 layers of Damascus steel and paired with a black G-10 handle and a stainless steel bolster.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eBlade and steel\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe blade is made of \u003cstrong\u003e67 layers of Damascus steel\u003c\/strong\u003e and hardened to \u003cstrong\u003e60–61 HRC\u003c\/strong\u003e. The Damascus series combines the traditional craft of layered Damascus steel with modern manufacturing methods. A hard blade holds its edge for a long time, so you spend more time cutting and less time sharpening. In return, it asks for a little care: keep it away from bones, frozen food and glass boards.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe \u003cstrong\u003econvex edge\u003c\/strong\u003e is sharpened on both sides at a factory angle of 16–18°. Like every Damascus blade, this one is made to slice with minimal resistance. The wide blade is 240 mm long and 50 mm high.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eHandle and balance\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe ergonomic handle is made of \u003cstrong\u003eblack G-10\u003c\/strong\u003e, a hard, moisture-resistant material that adds to the knife's reliability and durability. The handle is fitted with a \u003cstrong\u003estainless steel bolster\u003c\/strong\u003e, which gives you control and helps keep your fingers away from the food. The knife sits well balanced in the hand, weighs 270 g and measures 378 mm overall.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eBest uses\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eChopping and dicing vegetables\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eShredding vegetables such as cabbage\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSlicing and portioning boneless meat\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCutting and portioning fish\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMincing ingredients\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSlicing fruit and cutting bread\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch2\u003eCare and sharpening\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eRinse the knife with hot water and wipe it dry before first use, then wash it by hand with non-abrasive materials and dry it; a dishwasher is not recommended, and the knife should not be left in the sink for long. Cut on wooden or plastic boards, never on glass, and leave bones to a SAMURA cleaver and frozen food to a double-sided serrated saw knife. Sharpen on a whetstone at the original factory angle of 16–18°, and use a honing rod between sharpenings, drawing the edge along the rod from the handle to the point. Store the knife in a brush block or knife holder where the blade does not touch metal items.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eAbout the Damascus series\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eEvery knife in the \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/damascus\"\u003eDamascus collection\u003c\/a\u003e combines a 67-layer Damascus steel blade with an ergonomic G-10 handle and a steel bolster, and like all SAMURA knives it comes with a 2-year warranty.
