8 Inch Damascus Steel Santoku Chefs knife

8 Inch Damascus Steel Imported Japanese Santoku Chefs knife. Made in traditional techniques and imported to South Africa for use in professional kitchen. Bought in 2023 and well maintained its has retained an unchipped edge and cood condition. The technique of folding the steel over on itself repeatedly while forging gives the Damascus blade a uniquely hard edge that maintains its sharpness for far longer than most other steels but also allows for a stainless and flexible blade making it relatively simple to maintain. This is a unique sought after and usually expensive combination.
