KITA by Cangshan®: X-7 damascus and blue design
The KITA series is by Cangshan®. Damastchef is the official and exclusive distributor of Cangshan in Germany. The blades consist of 67 layers of X-7 damascus steel, are sharpened by hand and hardened to 60 ± 2 HRC. The full-tang blades with a hammered texture sit in octagonal G-10 fibreglass handles.
Sets in the series
The 2-piece Starter set contains a chef's knife and a paring knife and comes in a deep blue wooden box. The 6-piece knife block includes a chef's, carving, utility and paring knife, kitchen scissors and a honing steel, in a maple block with a blue finish and stainless steel base.
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.
Frequently asked questions about the KITA series
What does full tang mean?
With full tang, the steel of the blade runs through the whole handle. That makes the knife stable and well balanced.
What is X-7 damascus steel?
X-7 is the blade steel Cangshan uses for this series, processed in 67 layers and sharpened by hand.
