Boker Damascus Olive Utility Knife

'The Boker Damascus Olive kitchen knife line pairs Japanese-style handles made from local olive wood with razor-sharp stainless Damascus blades of 37 layered steel, creating a striking grain pattern. The blade’s high-performance core is VG-10 steel, which delivers exceptional hardness, resilience and a uniform crystalline structure. The Japanese handle design, finished with matte stainless steel ferrules, gives the knives a distinctive look and ergonomic feel. Constructed with a push tang and stainless ferrule, these knives excel at slicing delicate foods without crushing or bruising—preserving herb aromas and reducing the release of juices (and even minimizing tears when cutting onions). In independent testing against an established Solingen manufacturer under DIN EN ISO 8442-5, the Boker Damascus Olive line showed 68% better cutting performance and noticeably greater initial sharpness, so frequent sharpening becomes unnecessary. The included Utility Knife combines the versatility of a chef’s knife with the precision of a paring knife, making it ideal for peeling and cutting fruits and vegetables and for trimming smaller pieces of fish and meat; its double-beveled blade makes it an indispensable tool in any kitchen.'
