There are some details to consider and be aware of before you choose a knife so just take those factors into consideration as you peruse your options. Versatility The handle is made with Pakka wood, which makes it a strong and sturdy handle. It’s a simple round handle but it is weighted well to give it an ergonomic feel that you can depend on. The reason for Damascus steel’s reputation as one of the greatest steels for blades is that, in the past, forging two steels together could provide a blade with both hardness and flexibility, by using two steels with good properties in both. From tip to handle the knife is 13 inches so you have a good, long handle that isn’t overbearing and it is sleek in every way that matters. Double beveled blades are more general in nature. They tend to be more universal rather than designed for fine foods. Because they are built to handle more needs, they are easier to work with and also easier to sharpen.

Damascus Chef Knives: Our Favorites

This is a matter of personal styling, with a bit of functionality. Every chef seems to prefer one of two types: the rounded belly or the straight edge. Single bevel blades are common for delicate foods and used regularly for Asian cuisine, sushi, and other delicacies as well. The Felix Sirius 20cm Maple Handle Chef Knife is made using traditional techniques, offering users a high-quality blade for different cutting tasks. The knife maker utilizes 130 layers of Inox Damascus steel to make a blade with superior hardness for durability. The layers of Damascus steel are vacuum-hardened, making the structure dense and fine.

To avoid rust, you should wash by hand and immediately dry with a gentle cloth. Never leave the blade sitting in water as this is most likely to lead to rust in the end. Are all Damascus knives the same? Whether you’re an aspiring sous chef or a keen home cook, a Damascus steel chef knife suits you. Ex You see, these knives are super sharp but they also tend to be single bevel knives so you must store them and treat them carefully to avoid things like chips and bends in the blade. Beyond its original and impressive aesthetics, the overlapping steel layers that make up a damascus knife provide the blade an optimal balance of solidity and flexibility. The hard steel layers enable the blade to be quite rigid, and this allows it to remain sharp for long time. On the other hand, the soft steel layers balance out the hardness of the other layers as well as that of the steel core, and this gives the blade enough flexibility to be less fragile as it would be if the blade was excessively rigid. It must be stated that this does not mean that damascus blades are flexible. They are not. The "flexibility" given by the soft steel layers simply means that the blade will be more resistant, because otherwise, without that flexibility, the knife would easily break due to its rigidness. Damascus steel is also prone to developing a ‘patina’, or a stain. This comes from interacting with the various food materials, and the kitchen environment in general. Many chefs consider this a part of the Damascus knife’s charm and are very reluctant to give it a polish. They Are More Expensive Than Their PeersThe handle is made with buffalo horn and is lightweight and ergonomic so you experience comfort and control.
