2572 8" Slicing Knife SAMURAI MUSASHI 20 Cm (Steel DAMASCUS). The gastronomic or slicing knife is an excellent cutting aid. The blade is very thin and flexible which makes it easy to cut meat and fish into fillets. Also very handy for making carpaccio, like beef or salmon. Thanks to the long and narrow blade it is easy to achieve thin, perfectly flat slices. Traditional Japanese craftsmanship combined with advanced technology and beautiful modern design. Corrosion resistance and durability thanks to Korudo's special cold hardened metal technology to 61 HRC on the Rockwell scale. Damascene blade consists of 67 layers of durable VG-10 stainless super steel. Overlapping layers of steel form an inimitable pattern reminiscent of a rolling sea. Craftsmen sharpen the blades by hand, using the ancient Japanese Honbazuke method. The perfect cutting angle thanks to the sharpening is 15-17 degrees per side. The handle of the knife is made of high-class waterproof and wear-resistant G-10 material that can withstand both low and high temperatures perfectly, thanks to which the knife does not slip in your hand and does not absorb extraneous odors. Premium textured cardboard packaging with silver embossing leaves no true connoisseur of high quality knives indifferent. High carbon steel - don't leave it wet for long! We recommend using a sharpening stone for sharpening. After sharpening, rinse with water and wipe dry immediately with a clean cloth. Do not wash in the dishwasher. Please follow the care recommendations and the knife will last you a long time. This product complies with all safety and hygiene standards
