    FAQs

    What advantages does a 67-layer VG-10 Damascus blade provide during everyday cooking?

    The 67-layer VG-10 Damascus construction gives the blade exceptional strength, edge retention, and corrosion resistance. The multi-layer cladding helps the knife glide through food with less friction, making it ideal for precise slicing and detailed prep work. It also means the blade holds its sharp edge far longer than standard stainless steel knives.

    How does the Kiritsuke shape differ from a traditional chef knife?

    The Kiritsuke profile features a slightly flatter edge with a fine, pointed tip. This allows for both long, sweeping slices and controlled detail work like scoring, trimming, and fine cuts. It’s a versatile hybrid that lets cooks perform multiple tasks chopping, slicing, dicing, and delicate work—with one knife.

    Is the resin and wood burl handle stable enough for long-term use?

    Yes. The combination of resin and wood burl creates a handle that is both durable and moisture-resistant. The resin stabilizes the natural wood, preventing warping or cracking, while the octagonal shape offers excellent control and comfort during extended prep sessions.

    How should I maintain the Damascus pattern and prevent the blade from fading over time?

    To keep the Damascus pattern vibrant, handwash and dry the knife immediately after use, avoid abrasive scrubbers, and apply a thin layer of food-safe mineral oil occasionally. This protects the layered steel from moisture and oxidation, helping preserve both the pattern and the blade’s performance for years.

    What is the return or warranty policy for this knife?

    Chef Supply Co stands by its products and all Chef Supply Co branded products are backed by our limited lifetime warranty. Products not branded Chef Supply Co only carry a 12 month warranty unless the otherwise advised by the manufacturer.

    We cover any faults of materials or workmanship at our discretion.

    Can this knife cut through bones or frozen foods?

    We recommend using a cleaver or specialty knife for bones or frozen items. Using a standard kitchen knife may damage the blade.

    Is this knife dishwasher-safe?

    We recommend handwashing to protect the blade’s edge and maintain the handle’s integrity. Dishwashers can dull the blade and damage the handle over time.

    How should I sharpen this knife?

    You can use a whetstone, honing rod, or professional sharpener. Regular honing maintains the edge, while sharpening restores it when dull.

    What’s the best way to store this knife?

    Store it in a knife block, magnetic strip, blade guard, or sheath to keep the edge protected and prevent accidents.
