Boker Damascus Olive Chef's Knife Small

'The Boker Damascus Olive kitchen knife range pairs traditional Japanese-style handles made from locally sourced olive wood with razor-sharp stainless Damascus blades featuring 37 layers of steel and a striking grain pattern. The blade’s high-performance VG-10 core provides exceptional hardness, resilience and a uniform crystalline structure, producing remarkable cutting precision. The Japanese handle design, highlighted by a matte stainless-steel ferrule, gives the line its distinctive look and comfortable balance. Constructed with a push tang and stainless-steel ferrule, these knives excel at slicing delicate ingredients without crushing or bruising—herbs retain their oils and onions can be cut with less tearing. In standardized testing (DIN EN ISO 8442-5) the Boker Damascus Olive line outperformed a well-known Solingen competitor by 68% in cutting performance and also demonstrates superior initial sharpness, reducing the need for frequent sharpening. The chef’s knife in this range is a kitchen essential: slightly wider and longer than a utility knife, with a slim tip for onions and small vegetables, ample length for meat and easy handling of large produce.'
