Damask kitchen knife for peeling and carving

Many foods are protected by a peel, which can be eaten with an apple, for example, or grated with an organic lemon for a delicious cake. As a rule, however, citrus fruits such as grapefruit, lime or orange are peeled before consumption – with a paring knife. Oh yes, and then there is the fact that in a good kitchen always "the eye eats with you". With our damask paring knife you can conjure up a wonderful decoration on the plate by artfully carving fruit and vegetables. Especially a trick when kids sit at the table, who sometimes look a little skeptical at the vegetables. If vegetables and fruits are beautifully carved, they taste twice as good to the children.

Sharp knife blade for filigree work

When it comes to peeling and carving fruit and vegetables, you need an "agile knife" that fits well in the hand – our small damask knife. Peeled in no time at all and fruits and vegetables are cut into cubes or other geometric shapes. Snap, and carrot slices become a flower blossom, the shashlik skewer is decorated with a cucumber spiral and the watermelon becomes a "hedgehog" by means of cubes and wooden sticks – accompanied by other animals such as the "lime octopus" or the "pepper snake".

So that the artistic decoration on the plate succeeds optimally, we have equipped the Damascus paring knife with a particularly sharp blade. 67 layers of quality steel forms the blade base, at the cutting edge of which an angle of 15° was applied on both sides (suitable for right- and left-handers). The enormous sharpness was achieved by 12 grinding operations, followed by a final vacuum heat treatment (for long-lasting sharpness). Not only practical, but also beautiful to look at, is the blade with the characteristic damask raindrop pattern. But there is another eye-catching effect.

Knife handle made of solid wood sycamore maple

As usual with a kitchen knife for peeling and carving, the knife handle and transition are longer than the actual damask blade itself. Thus, filigree work can be carried out with both the fine knife tip and the cutting edge. To ensure that the knife handle fits well in the hand, it has been ergonomically shaped – made of fascinatingly beautiful sycamore maple. The solid wood impresses with its grain and drawing, which occurs only once per handle in this form (unique). Thus, growth characteristics and inclusions stand for the originality of the wood.

Special Ergonomics: The special knife handle

The beauty is provided by nature, the functionality comes from human hands. The handle was shaped by hand so that each pair of fingers can optimally grasp the handle at the bottom. At the flat top, the thumb exerts the corresponding counterpressure. But with our Damascus kitchen knife, the handle to the blade transition is once again excessive. This allows the hand to follow up very close to the blade and skillfully use the tip of the blade for the finest carving. Let your imagination run wild with the plate decoration.
