Extended Product Information
FAQs
Can I use this knife on meat or bones?
No. This knife is designed specifically for bread and produce. The high hardness of the steel makes it susceptible to chipping if it strikes bone or frozen food.
Is the knife dishwasher safe?
No. Dishwashers can damage the Damascus steel cladding and degrade the handle material over time.
What is the Rockwell hardness of this blade?
The blade has a 60 Rockwell hardness rating, indicating a high-quality, hard steel that holds an edge well.
How do I sharpen the serrated edge?
Serrated blades are difficult to sharpen at home. We recommend using a professional knife sharpening service to maintain the specific geometry of the teeth.
What is the handle made of?
The handle is made of Micarta resin, which is known for its durability, moisture resistance, and comfortable, ergonomic grip.
Troubleshooting
The knife feels dull or is tearing bread
Ensure the knife is clean and free of residue. If the blade remains dull after proper cleaning, it may require professional sharpening due to the complex serrated edge.
Visible spots on the blade
These are likely water spots or minor oxidation. Gently clean with a non-abrasive sponge and a mild cleaning agent, then dry immediately.
Handle feels loose or slippery
Wipe the handle dry after each use. If the handle appears damaged or loose, stop using the knife and check the rivets.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your knife remains in optimal condition, adhere to these care guidelines:
- Cleaning: Always hand wash the knife in warm, soapy water. Avoid using the dishwasher, as the high heat and harsh detergents can damage the Damascus finish and the Micarta handle.
- Drying: Immediately dry the blade with a soft cloth after washing to prevent water spots and rust.
- Storage: Store the knife in a knife block, on a magnetic strip, or in a protective sheath. Avoid storing it loose in a drawer where the serrated teeth can hit other metal utensils.
- Usage: Use only on wooden or plastic cutting boards. Avoid cutting on glass, marble, or ceramic surfaces to protect the edge.
