FAQ

What is special about 67-layer Damascus steel with a VG10 core?

The 67-layer Damascus steel is a complex assembly of multiple layers of steel that provides exceptional resistance to corrosion and wear, while also giving the blade a unique aesthetic. The VG10 core, meanwhile, is a Japanese stainless steel renowned for its hardness and ability to maintain an ultra-thin, long-lasting edge. Together, they guarantee a knife that is robust, high-performing, and elegant.

What type of cuts can I make with this knife?

This chef's knife is designed for maximum versatility: slicing meats thinly, chopping vegetables, mincing fruit, and even mincing herbs. Its precise 15° edge allows for clean, smooth cuts with minimal effort.

Is the G10 handle suitable for prolonged use?

Absolutely. G10 is a lightweight, waterproof, and non-slip composite material. Its ergonomic shape ensures a comfortable grip, even during long preparation sessions, reducing fatigue and the risk of slipping.

How do I maintain my knife to prolong its lifespan?

Maintenance is simple: always wash your knife by hand with mild soap; avoid the dishwasher, which can damage the blade and handle. Dry it immediately to prevent corrosion and store it in a knife block or sheath to protect the edge.

Can I sharpen the blade myself?

Yes, it is recommended to use a manual sharpener with angle guides, specially designed to maintain the cutting angle at 15°. This helps to keep the blade sharp and efficient for a long time.

Is this a knife suitable for left-handed people?

Yes, the blade is symmetrical and the ergonomics of the handle are suitable for both right- and left-handed users.

Is this knife suitable for cutting hard foods such as bones or very hard vegetables?

No, this knife is designed for precise and delicate cuts. For bones or very hard vegetables, it is advisable to use a sturdier knife or a cleaver.

Does the blade rust easily?

Thanks to its Damascus steel and VG10 composition, as well as its polished surface treatment, the blade is highly corrosion-resistant. However, regular maintenance is necessary to preserve this quality.
