67-Layer Damascus Steel with Characteristic Pattern
Damascus steel, or Damast steel, refers to a multi-layered steel. The different layers create the characteristic surface pattern typical of Damascus knives after processing. This gives the blade a distinctive and decorative appearance.
The indication "67 layers" describes the multi-layered structure of the blade. A specific steel type for the blade core, a concrete Rockwell hardness, or a guaranteed edge retention duration are not specified by the manufacturer in the present product information.
Naturally Grained Olive Wood Handle
The handle is made of genuine olive wood. Due to the natural grain, each knife has its own unique appearance. Variations in color, structure, grain, and surface pattern are common with natural wood and make each item optically unique.
Such natural differences generally do not constitute a product defect, provided that the usability of the knife is not affected.
Versatile Kitchen Knife for Daily Cutting Tasks
The Ha Teikoku chef's knife can be used for numerous tasks in food preparation. These include:
- Cutting and chopping vegetables
- Mincing herbs
- Cutting and portioning boneless meat
- Preparing fish without hard bones or cartilage
- Cutting fruits and other foods
The knife is not intended for chopping or cutting through bones, frozen foods, or other particularly hard materials. Such use can damage the edge.
Care of the Damascus Knife
After use, clean the knife by hand with warm water, a soft cloth or sponge, and a mild dish soap. Then thoroughly dry the blade and handle. The knife should not be left in water for extended periods and should not be cleaned in a dishwasher.
Preferably use cutting boards made of wood or suitable plastic. Hard surfaces made of glass, stone, ceramic, or metal can dull or damage the edge more quickly.
For long-term care of the olive wood handle, a food-safe care oil suitable for kitchen utensils can be used occasionally. Please note the application instructions for the respective care product.
