Description of WMF Damasteel 4-1/4-Inch Utility Knife
Damascene blades are synonymous with handcrafted weld art. The legendary Samurai swords have been esteemed for over 1000 years and conferred great respect on their owners. Damascene blades are still fascinating today because of the aesthetics and unusual razor sharpness. The traditional porcessing uses different kinds of steel, forged into hundreds of layers. Using new technologies, WMF has created this Damasteel Utility knife with a 4.5 inch blade, with a blade steel that is unparalled in quality.Forged in the tradition of legendary samurai damascene swords, WMF?s Damasteel knives have not only a unique aesthetic appearance but also a superior strength and sharpness that the manufacturer maintains is unsurpassed. Using the art of damascening, craftspeople forge the blades of several grades of steel in multiple layers to create a stronger bond, a sharper edge, and longer lasting sharpness of the blade. The mottled pattern on the blade of this 4-1/4-inch utility knife resembles an animal print but is not just for show. The pattern is the result of a unique fusion process that further hardens the blade and allows it to be sharpened at a very acute angle. A high content of carbon is sprayed onto the steel blade at high pressure so the two elements cannot separate and then the blade is vacuum-fused and twofold isostatic pressed. The texture on the blade is caused by the alloys reacting to acids during this process.
This 4-1/4-inch utility knife is the jack-of-all-trades in any kitchen as it?s the perfect size for cutting fruit, slicing cooked poultry or meat, or trimming the fat from raw meats. A weighted bolster provides just the right amount of balance for comfortable and safe slicing. The full tang is encased in a beautiful brushed stainless-steel, hollow handle with a modern, squared-off shape. This high-quality knife is dishwasher-safe but WMF recommends hand washing it to protect the blade from damage. --Cristina Vaamonde
