"To make our Damascus chef knife as strong as we could, we used 67 layers of Damascus steel, making it ultra-strong, sturdy, resilient and chip resistant. Each of the knives is put through eight engineering processes before hand-finishing them using our proprietary V-Shape sharpening technology," said a KUMA spokesperson. "We know that comfort while cutting is also important, so our knife also features an ergonomically designed, lightweight handle with minimal bolster to ensure a smooth and thorough cutting experience using both regular and pinch grip."

The technique used to forge Damascus steel involves forging together two or more varieties of steel to form one, unified, strong alloy. This process results in a metal that is patterned due to the various layers of steel. This technique dates back hundreds of years but is still used extensively. The process of combining metals creates micro-serrations that keep the blade sharper and help it perform optimally for a longer period than blades made of other alloys. Durability and chip resistance are two more useful properties of Damascus steel, making it a popular choice for modern-day knife-craft.

"I purchased this knife to use in demonstrations as a food-technology teacher. It is extremely sharp out of the box and feels balanced in the hand. The blade geometry is such that cutting is intuitive, and I am not left with any partially cut food as with some other knives. I am looking forward to getting a lot of use from this knife and am extremely happy with my purchase," an impressed user mentioned in her Amazon review.

KUMA's range of products also includes its extremely popular flagship multipurpose chef knife. With close to 700 Amazon reviews to date, this product is currently among the top products in its category.
