Mcusta Zanmai Classic Damascus Pakka Chef's Knife (21 cm) This is the essential and versatile tool for every chef, designed for various tasks performed in the kitchen. It's indispensable due to its wide range of uses and high flexibility. The broad, sharp blade effortlessly glides through fish and meat. It's ideal for cutting, slicing, dicing, and carving various ingredients. Additionally, it excels as a herb and nut chopper. The handle is made of pakka wood, a composite of wood and resin. Such handles are known for their high resistance to mechanical damage, high temperatures, and humidity. Pakka, as a laminate made from thin sheets of natural wood, adds character to each knife. Specifications: Blade: 33-layer steel, VG-10 core Hardness: 61 HRC +/-1 Blade Length: 21cm Blade Width: 4.5cm Weight: approximately 211g Usage Tips: After use, wash the knife and preferably dry it or leave it to air dry on a rack. It is unacceptable to wash knives in a dishwasher. Chemical agents used in dishwashers can lead to discoloration on the blade, permanently damage the handle, or the blade itself. Proper knife storage is also important. Magnetic strips and magnetic boards are highly recommended, as they protect the knife during its "rest" while in the kitchen. Traditional slot blocks require attention when inserting and removing knives to preserve their sharpness. Also, remember to thoroughly dry them before storing, as the closed construction of block sets doesn't provide good ventilation for knives. Ensuring the quality of the edges also involves using suitable cutting boards. Wooden and bamboo boards are recommended, while glass and stone boards are definitely discouraged. Additionally, pay attention not to cut frozen products, bones, or immerse the blade in boiling water during the thermal processing of prepared dishes. For kitchen knives that are not used for a long time, you can lubricate them with camellia oil to keep them in good condition. Following these guidelines will allow you to enjoy the benefits of these beautifully crafted, perfectly sharp knives for many years. Classic Damascus Pakka This collection is known for its excellent cutting properties and minimalist design, making it ideal for modern kitchens. The VG-10 core wrapped in 32 layers of Japanese steel creates the characteristic "Damascus" pattern on the blade, which beautifully complements the riveted handle made of black pakka wood composite.
