• USE: The Bread Knife, characterized by the special serration as well as the very long blade, is ideal for cutting bread without crushing it, and can also be used to cut hard foods.
• UNIQUENESS of DAMASCUS: The production of Damascus steel is a millennia-old craft where at least two steels of different compositions are forged together. By using steels with different properties, the quality of the Damascus steel can be heavily influenced to achieve the best possible balance between hardness and cutting performance. With the final etching in a special acid, the two types of steel tarnish darkly, and the unique Damascus pattern created by the structure comes to the forefront.
• QUALITY: The Böker Damascus Black Series blends two high-quality components together: the traditional Japanese knife shape, with the Damascus blade handmade in Solingen, Germany. The figure of the Japanese handle combined with the blade of stainless-steel ferrule make for a nimble and finely sharp knife. The blade consists of 37 layers of Damascus steel, and a core of Japanese VG-10 steel which is characterized by a high degree of hardness, toughness, and a homogeneous crystalline structure.
• HANDLE: The handle material is black plywood, which, due to its beautiful and dramatic color, emphasizes the finely matted stainless-steel ferrules and the splendid grain of the razor-sharp Damascus blade.
• DIMENSIONS: The blade is 9.13 inches long and 3 millimeters thick. Overall, the knife is 14.13 inches in length and weighs 4.5 ounces.
