You can use it for a wide range of everyday prep, from slicing fruit and vegetables to cutting cheese, sausage and bread. The blade is made from 67 layers of Damascus steel and paired with a black G-10 handle.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eBlade and steel\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe blade is made 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 it stays sharp through plenty of everyday prep before it needs attention. In return, a hard edge asks for a little care: keep it away from bones, frozen food and glass surfaces.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe \u003cstrong\u003econvex edge\u003c\/strong\u003e is sharpened on both sides, with an original factory sharpening angle of \u003cstrong\u003e16–18°\u003c\/strong\u003e. An edge ground on both sides is straightforward to maintain with a honing rod and a whetstone.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eHandle and balance\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe ergonomic \u003cstrong\u003eblack G-10 handle\u003c\/strong\u003e is durable and resistant to moisture. A \u003cstrong\u003estainless steel bolster\u003c\/strong\u003e joins the blade to the handle, adding durability and giving you full control over each cut. At 100 g and 245 mm overall, the knife is light, so it stays comfortable through longer prep sessions.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eBest uses\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSlicing and dicing vegetables\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCutting and slicing fruit\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCutting cheese\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSlicing sausage\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 wipe it dry; 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 saw knife with a serrated blade. Store the knife in a brush block or knife holder where the blade does not touch metal items. Use a honing rod between sharpenings and sharpen on a whetstone at the original factory angle of 16–18°.\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 67 layers of Damascus steel with modern manufacturing methods for a sharp edge that cuts with little resistance and stays durable for years of use.
