Specifications

A chef's knife of this type serves as the main working tool of a kitchen production area, suitable for slicing vegetables and herbs as well as breaking down meat and fish. Caring for a Damascus-steel blade follows the general rules for Japanese kitchen knives: hand-wash immediately after use, dry it thoroughly, store it on a magnetic strip or in a stand separate from other kitchen tools, and cut only on wooden or plastic boards. Regularly restoring the edge on a whetstone while keeping the factory sharpening angle extends the knife's service life under daily intensive use in an institutional kitchen.
