Review on 🔪 High Carbon Stainless Steel Chef Knife - 8 Inch VG10 Damascus Blade for Precision Cutting - Ergonomic Pakkawood Handle - Perfect Gift in a Stylish Gift Box by Sara Daly

V-Sharp and Fanteck Members have done it again! This knife is a perfect example of how functionality and aesthetics can be optimally combined. This chef's knife stays smaller, about 8 inches, and is very sharp right out of the box. The Pakka wood handle has a form-fitting shape that ensures comfort and stability in the hand, even when wet. At the top of the handle are 3 layers of beautiful amber, pearls and dark red acrylic. These colors were achieved using a mix of mother of pearl and acrylic for an extra level of detail. This detail is also functional as the acrylic strips are flush with the handle. Acrylic is impact, water and partially heat resistant, which contributes to the overall life of the blade. Moving on to the blade: I have another Fantek knife with a different handle but almost the same blade. At first glance the blades are very similar, but I would say that this blade may have more creases than intended (not bad). The creases allow the blade to be cleaned of contamination and, in addition, allow an increase in the strength and elasticity of the metal, achieving a hardness of at least 62 Rockwell units or higher. My father, who worked as a heat treater for many years, was very impressed with the VG-10 steel used to make this knife. Blade grooves are fairly common as you can feel the texture inside the knife. Some damasks are given a smooth finish while others keep the grooves deeper. Personally I like the deeper side, its texture in the hand makes it special every time you cut something to eat. I'm also very picky about my knives and I can say without a doubt that if you want to destroy this thing you really have to try to break it. If you are looking for a reliable knife that you can look forward to cooking with that will last a lifetime and look great doing it, then look no further!
