Very sharp. But with real substance.<br data-start=\"552\" data-end=\"555\" \/>A blade that cuts like a utility knife, shaped like a steak knife, and a handle that carries enough weight to calm it down.<br data-start=\"678\" data-end=\"681\" \/>That is why the blade is ground so thin and the handle is finished with a thick stainless steel pommel.<\/p>\r\n<p data-start=\"786\" data-end=\"1142\"><strong data-start=\"786\" data-end=\"800\">THE HANDLE<\/strong><br data-start=\"800\" data-end=\"803\" \/>Each handle is made from some of the hardest woods in the world \u2013 chosen for strength, stability, and character.<br data-start=\"915\" data-end=\"918\" \/>This batch shows deeper grain and richer contrast than before.<br data-start=\"980\" data-end=\"983\" \/>Every handle is waxed and polished by hand using Riceknife\u2019s own organic beeswax, made in Denmark and blended with food-grade mineral oil, before it is packed.<\/p>\r\n<p data-start=\"1144\" data-end=\"1537\"><strong data-start=\"1144\" data-end=\"1157\">THE BLADE<\/strong><br data-start=\"1157\" data-end=\"1160\" \/>The blade is made from 67 layers of Damascus steel around a VG10 core hardened to 61 HRC.<br data-start=\"1249\" data-end=\"1252\" \/>We spent countless hours working the steel \u2013 folding, pressing, and etching again and again \u2013 until the pattern finally started to move the way I wanted it to.<br data-start=\"1411\" data-end=\"1414\" \/>For the third batch I used a slightly different Damascus composition, which gave a more lively, fluent pattern than before.<\/p>\r\n<p data-start=\"1539\" data-end=\"1712\">If cared for properly and maintained with handle wax, these knives are made to last a lifetime.<br data-start=\"1634\" data-end=\"1637\" \/>Do not put them in the dishwasher \u2013 always keep them clean, dry, and oiled.<\/p>","link":"https:\/\/www.riceknife.com\/is\/product-category\/damasucs-steel-steak-knives\/","name":"Damascus Steel Steak Knives","slug":"damasucs-steel-steak-knives","taxonomy":"product_cat","parent":0,"meta":[],"menu_order":0,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.riceknife.com\/is\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/product_cat\/57","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.riceknife.com\/is\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/product_cat"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.riceknife.com\/is\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/taxonomies\/product_cat"}],"wp:post_type":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.riceknife.com\/is\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/product?product_cat=57"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
