With a long 230 mm blade and a narrow profile, it lets you slice meat, fish fillets and sausage neatly for the table, and it also handles vegetables and bread. Reach for it, too, when you prepare sushi, sashimi and other Asian dishes.\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 slicing 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°, and the Damascus blade is made to slice with minimal resistance. The blade is 33 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 moisture-resistant material, and is fitted with a \u003cstrong\u003estainless steel bolster\u003c\/strong\u003e. The bolster adds durability and control, and it helps keep your fingers away from the food as you slice. The knife weighs 230 g and measures 370 mm overall.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eBest uses\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSlicing meat thinly and evenly for serving\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSlicing fish fillets for serving\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePreparing sushi and sashimi\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCutting sausage into neat slices\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSlicing vegetables\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 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\"\u003eSAMURA Damascus series\u003c\/a\u003e combines a 67-layer Damascus steel blade with an ergonomic G-10 handle and a steel bolster.
