Damascus Black Paring Knife Damascus Chef's Knife

The Bker Damast Black knife series combines traditional Japanese handle shapes made from black domestic plywood with razor-sharp blades made of stainless damask with 37 layers of steel, characterized by a beautiful grain. The extremely edge-retaining core of the damask blade is made from high-performance steel VG-10. The noticeable sharpness when cutting is breathtaking and makes cooking an experience. The Japanese construction of the knife handle with finely matte stainless steel bolsters gives the series its special character. Not only do many top chefs swear by Japanese kitchen knives, but they are also becoming increasingly popular among ambitious hobby cooks. The advantages of knives with Japanese handles and the traditional construction of blade with tang and stainless steel bolster are obvious, as delicate foods can be cut and prepared particularly gently. When cutting herbs, for example, very little essential oil is released due to the very fine cut. Aromatic substances are thus not lost, and the unwanted tearing of the eyes when cutting onions can also be avoided. The perceived sharpness when cutting is breathtaking and makes cooking an experience. The secret of the unusual sharpness lies in the material and its processing. The blade consists of 37 layers of damask steel. The rust-resistant premium blade steel VG-10 of the middle cutting layer is produced in Japan and is characterized by a high degree of hardness, toughness, and a homogeneous crystalline structure. In a direct comparison of cutting performance with a product from an established Solingen kitchen knife manufacturer according to DIN EN ISO 8442-5, the knives not only perform better in a figurative sense. The cutting performance is more than 68% above that of the competing product in the representative DIN test. Additionally, the Bker Damast Black series impresses with a higher initial sharpness. Constant resharpening is thus a thing of the past. The ham knife, with its long and slender shape, is ideally suited for precise cutting of meat and fish. Paper-thin slices can be cut just as easily as cubes or evenly thick slices. The ham knife is slightly more flexible than other knives and glides optimally through the meat.
