Damascus Japanese Utility Kitchen Knife 13cm Blade
Product number: 17732
Sitting in between the paring knife and the smaller chef’s knife in our premium Damascus knife range, this 13cm Damascus Utility Knife is just the job for all sorts of mid-size kitchen tasks – slicing cheese, cutting through citrus fruit and larger vegetables and carving up chorizo for your tapas, stews or pizza topping. Being lightweight and beautifully-balanced it’s also a delight to use and, like all the blades in the range, it’ll hold its super-sharp edge no matter how often you reach for it.
About Lakeland Damascus Knives
Sharpened using the same techniques as those used to make Samurai swords, Damascus knives undergo a process of lamination where the super-hard carbon steel core is layered with 67 coatings of stainless steel for a distinctive blade that is strong yet flexible with a superior cutting edge.
This multi-layering technique is believed to have been discovered in Damascus around 300BC – hence the name – eventually making its way east to be perfected by Japanese sword-smiths where the blade’s finish was aptly named ‘kasumi-nagashi’ or ‘floating mist’.
Full tang with an ice-tempered blade, each beautifully balanced knife also has a comfortable riveted wooden handle to give you excellent precision and control.
