Damascus Steel Blade
I AM STRONG, SHARP AND BORN TO CUT. A well-made Damascus Steel blade will retain its sharpness for longer than most quality blades due to the way their metals are forged.
Anciently, Damascus Steel was what was typically found in weapons. But, today, we don’t forge the materials in the same way, however with modern technology, a Damascus Steel Blade is still a far superior product.
Damascus Steel Knives are durable, flexible and stain resistant. They are high carbon forged steel (VG-10) and recognisable by their wavy patterned design and exceedingly sharp edge!
They tend to be more expensive than other stainless steel knives, but if you treat it as an investment, you will surely get your money’s worth.
Features:
-
67 Layers – This indicates that the blade is made using Damascus steel, which consists of 67 layers of steel. These layers are often created by folding and forging different types of steel together, enhancing durability, and sharpness
-
HRC 60 – This refers to the Rockwell Hardness Scale (HRC), which measures the hardness of the blade’s steel. An HRC of 60 is quite hard, meaning the blade can hold a sharp edge for a long time
Care Guidelines:
To ensure the longevity and performance of your knife, follow these care guidelines:
Cutting Surfaces
- Use smooth, easy-to-clean cutting boards such as wooden, bamboo, or polyethylene boards.
- Avoid cutting on surfaces that can dull or damage the blade, including ceramic, stainless steel, granite, marble, porcelain, and glass.
Cleaning & Maintenance
