Nesmuk Exclusive C100 Damascus Chef's Knife 18 cm - Handle Walnut Burl

The Nesmuk Exklusiv C100 chef's knife sets the standard for authentic Damascus knives. The 18 cm long blade is hand-forged in a wild Damascus style from 240 layers of different types of steel that are perfectly matched. The carbon content of the steel mixture is 1.0%, and the hardness is approximately 63 HRC. A double-sided hollow grind reduces food adhesion and allows the knife to glide through the food. To reduce the usual maintenance required for Damascus knives, the blade has been treated with the innovative Nesmuk Protective Coating (NPC) technology. The only a few micrometers thin silicon layer preserves it permanently, and the blades can boast the attribute of being corrosion-resistant. The C100 chef's knife is an absolutely impressive knife in terms of appearance, handling, and cutting performance. The solid and seamless handle in this version is made of walnut burl wood. The valuable wood of the rare burl grows mainly in central and southern Europe. The heavy and hard wood impresses with a fine dark to golden brown grain. Walnut burl is one of the most sought-after and expensive European woods. The transition between the blade and the handle is adorned with a ferrule made of highly polished stainless steel.
