This hard core is protected on both sides by 16 layers of softer Damascus steel, ensuring stability and resistance to breakage.
Elegant Design and Packaging
The handle is crafted in a modern black design with metal accents, perfectly matching the pattern on the blade. The knife is delivered in an elegant cassette (wooden according to text, black padded according to photo), making it the perfect gift for any cooking enthusiast.

Care and Maintenance of Damascus Steel
Damascus steel is a jewel that requires care. Never wash the knife in a dishwasher! Aggressive chemicals and temperatures would irreversibly damage the steel structure and handle, voiding the warranty. Wash the knife by hand in hot water with a little detergent and dry it immediately with a cloth. Do not let it air dry to prevent corrosion spots. If spots or discoloration appear on the blade (which is natural for these steels), you can polish them off with a fine polishing paste.
