Eden Hammered Damast kitchen knives: elegant and solid
The Eden Hammered Damast kitchen knives are razor-sharp jewellery for your kitchen. Elegant yet very practical. The blade has a core made from Japanese stainless steel and shows a beautiful damascus pattern. As icing on the cake, the blade has a hammered finish. Also called Tsuchime. This finish gives the knife a graceful look reminiscent of artisanal forging techniques from Japan. The black matted handle made from G10 plastic provides a nice contrast to the shiny blade. Excellent detailing and a wooden storage box complete the picture. There's a Hammered Damast chef's knife, nakiri, paring knife and bread knife. The knives are also available in different sets.
Eden Hammered Damast features
Eden Hammered Damast steel
The blade of these knives has a core made from strong and stainless AUS-10 steel, with a hardness of 60 HRC. An ideal level of hardness. Tough enough to retain its sharpness very well, but manageable enough to sharpen at home. The core is richly decorated with beautiful and stainless damascus steel with a hammered finish. Originally, these dents were the result of the blacksmith's hammer. In Japan, this finish is called Tsuchime.
Eden Hammered Damast handle
The handle is made from G10. G10 is a rock-solid type of plastic that is highly resistant to discolourations and moisture, acids and heat. The egg-shaped handle feels great in hand for both left- and right-handed users. The bolster, which is the metal part between the blade and the handle, is asymmetrical to provide a better grip when you're holding the knife in a pinch grip. The bolster of the handle contains a little steel plate that is engraved with Eden's logo.
Maintaining your new kitchen knives
Even though the blade is made from stainless steel and the handle is made from moisture-resistant plastic, you should not put the Eden Hammered Damast knives in the dishwasher. This is detrimental to the elegant looks and the quality of the knife. Enjoy these kitchen knives longer by simply washing and drying them by hand. In order to keep the knives razor-sharp, we recommend occasionally sharpening them. This can be done with a whetstone or a sharpening steel, for example. If you do this regularly, you will always enjoy optimal sharpness!
