Böker Damast Black AllzweckMesser 130414DAM

The joy of the black Boker Damascus kitchen knives combines traditionally Japanese handles made of black local plywood with razor-sharp blades made of rust-free Damascus steel with 37 layers that feature beautiful grain. The extremely impact-resistant core of the Damascus blade consists of high-performance VG-10 steel. The remarkable sharpness when cutting is stunning and makes cooking a pleasure. The Japanese design of the knife handles with matte stainless steel rivets gives this line a special character.

Top chefs are not the only ones who love Japanese kitchen knives - they are also popular among many ambitious amateur chefs. The advantages of knives with Japanese handles and traditional blade construction are evident, as they can cut delicate foods without crushing or mashing them. For example, when cutting herbs, the finely cut oil is released with difficulty. Aromatic substances are thus not lost, and when cutting onions, you can even avoid tears. The sensation of sharpness when cutting is stunning and makes cooking a real experience.

The secret of this unusually sharpness lies in the material and its processing. The blade consists of 37 layers of Damascus steel. The noble stainless steel VG-10 used for the middle layer is made in Japan and offers hardness, resistance, and a homogenous crystalline structure.

The Utility Knife is a very practical combination of a Chef's Knife and a Paring Knife. Its most common application in the kitchen is for processing fruits and vegetables that can be peeled and sliced. However, it can also easily cut smaller pieces of fish and meat. Because the knife is sharpened on both sides, it is used very often and should not be missing in any kitchen.
