Boker Damascus Olive Santoku

'The Boker Damascus Olive kitchen knife line pairs traditional Japanese-style handles made from local olive wood with razor-sharp stainless Damascus blades featuring 37 layers and a striking grain pattern. The blade’s robust core is crafted from high-performance VG-10 steel, known for hardness, resilience and a consistent crystalline structure. The Japanese-inspired handle design with matte stainless clamps gives the series a distinctive look and excellent balance.\n\nThanks to the Japanese handle shape and the blade’s traditional construction with a push tang and stainless ferrule, these knives slice delicate foods cleanly without crushing or bruising them. Herbs retain their essential oils when finely cut, and onions can be sliced with fewer tears. Independent testing according to DIN EN ISO 8442-5 found the Boker Damascus Olive line’s cutting performance to be 68% better than a comparable product from a well-known Solingen manufacturer, and the knives arrive with a higher level of initial sharpness, reducing the need for frequent sharpening.\n\nThe Santoku model, increasingly popular in Europe, is a Japanese utility knife whose name means “the three virtues.” Equally suitable for meat, fish and vegetables, its wide blade makes it especially easy to handle.'
