It is made for peeling, trimming and slicing fruit and vegetables, and its pointed tip lets you make intricate cuts and do delicate work. The hammered Damascus steel blade carries the moon-surface look of the Pro-S Lunar series.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eBlade and steel\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe blade is made of \u003cstrong\u003eVG-10 Damascus steel\u003c\/strong\u003e in \u003cstrong\u003e67 layers\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, it asks for a little care: keep it away from bones, frozen food and glass boards.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe blade has a \u003cstrong\u003ehammered finish\u003c\/strong\u003e, with irregular dimples inspired by the cratered surface of the moon. These small dimples also help keep food from sticking to the blade. The \u003cstrong\u003edouble-bevel edge\u003c\/strong\u003e is ground on both sides, so it is straightforward to maintain on a whetstone. The blade is 22 mm high.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eHandle and balance\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe black handle is made of \u003cstrong\u003eG-10\u003c\/strong\u003e, a high-pressure fibreglass material built from multilayered glass cloth soaked in epoxy resin. It is durable and lightweight, resists moisture and gives the handle structural strength. The handle has a \u003cstrong\u003estainless steel bolster\u003c\/strong\u003e. The knife weighs 90 g net and measures 193 mm overall.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eBest uses\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePeeling fruit and vegetables\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTrimming vegetables\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSlicing fruit and other small items\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIntricate cuts and delicate work with the pointed tip\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; after that, wash it by hand with non-abrasive materials and dry it straight away. 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, leave bones to a SAMURA cleaver and frozen food to a double-sided serrated saw knife, and 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 resharpen on a whetstone at the original factory bevel angle of 15–17°.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eAbout the Pro-S Lunar series\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/pro-s-lunar\"\u003ePro-S Lunar series\u003c\/a\u003e takes its inspiration from the surface of the moon: its hammered Damascus steel blades show irregular pocking and are paired with G-10 handles.
