Cuisine::pro's Damashiro knives feature stunning Damascus-style patterned blades suggestive of flowing water and handles inspired by Japanese samurai swords. Made of ice-hardened Japanese steel, the blades are tough, shatter-resistant and honed by traditional methods to a fine, razor-sharp, edge. Narrower than a chef's knife, the carving knife has a curved blade that helps it follow contours and guide meat away from the bone. The hollow handle is perfectly balanced for maximum control and comfort.
