DAMARA 5-Inch Utility Knife - 67-Layer Damascus Steel Professional Kitchen Knife

Why Choose DAMARA 5-Inch Utility Knife?

The utility knife is often called the "workhorse" of the kitchen - and the DAMARA version elevates this essential tool to an art form.

67-Layer Damascus Steel Craftsmanship

Forged with 67 layers of Damascus steel surrounding a high-carbon 10Cr15CoMov core, this blade combines breathtaking aesthetics with exceptional performance. Each knife features unique Damascus patterns created through traditional forging techniques, making your DAMARA knife truly one-of-a-kind. The layered construction provides superior strength, flexibility, and edge retention that outlasts conventional stainless steel knives.

Ultra-Sharp Precision Blade

With a hardness rating of 60-62 HRC and a 12-degree edge angle, the DAMARA utility knife delivers exceptional sharpness straight from the box. This Japanese-inspired geometry - significantly sharper than typical 25-degree Western knives - glides through ingredients with minimal effort, preserving the texture and flavour of your food whilst reducing hand fatigue.

Perfect Size for Versatility

At 5 inches, this utility knife fills the gap in your knife collection. Too large for a paring knife? Too small for a chef's knife? This is your solution. The compact blade length offers unmatched manoeuvrability for:

• Slicing tomatoes, cucumbers, and peppers
• Trimming fat from meat
• Cutting sandwiches and bagels
• Preparing fruits and garnishes
• Detailed work requiring precision

Damascus Steel: A Brief History

The Damascus steel technique originated centuries ago in the Middle East and has been refined in Yangjiang, China - a region with over 1,400 years of blade-making tradition. The distinctive wavy pattern is created by forge-welding alternating layers of steel, then grinding and polishing to reveal the mesmerising design. Each knife's pattern is unique, like a fingerprint, making your DAMARA knife truly one-of-a-kind.

Why Damascus Over Regular Steel?

Whilst stainless steel knives offer affordability, Damascus steel provides:

• Superior Sharpness - Harder steel holds a finer edge
• Better Edge Retention - Stays sharp 3-4x longer
• Exceptional Strength - Layered construction resists chipping
• Stunning Aesthetics - Unique patterns that evolve with use
• Professional Performance - Used by top chefs worldwide
