BLACK: damascus and a black G10 handle

BLACK combines a 67-layer damascus blade with a black G10 handle. The result is a clean, dark design that suits modern kitchens. G10 is a composite material that doesn't absorb moisture, which makes it especially easy to care for.

What sets BLACK apart

• 67 layers of damascus steel with a steel core, outer layers of stainless 316L steel.
• 60–62 HRC: hard enough for a long-lasting edge without becoming brittle.
• G10 handle: robust, dimensionally stable and unaffected by water.
• 15° double bevel for left- and right-handers.

Knives and sets

Individually there's the santoku knife and the utility knife, also together as a 2-piece Starter set. If you want to equip the whole kitchen, choose the 7-piece knife set with block: santoku, chef's, carving, utility and paring knife, a honing steel and a dark brown acacia block.

Care and storage

Damascus knives don't belong in the dishwasher. After cutting, rinse the blade briefly with warm water and a little washing-up liquid and dry it straight away with a cloth. Cut on wooden or plastic boards: glass, stone and ceramic quickly dull any edge.

Store the knife so that the edge touches nothing: on a magnetic knife strip, in a knife block or with a blade guard. For resharpening, a fine-grit whetstone works well, and wooden handles appreciate an occasional drop of camellia oil.
