The meat knife is ideal for cutting large pieces of meat, such as roasted or cured meats, into thin slices. Its thin blade, combined with its low height, provides better precision in cutting, while its length ensures that you can easily and accurately cut even large slices with just one motion.

Blade Material
The blade is made from Damascus steel, which began to be used in medieval Japan and has remained legendary for its highly durable and sharp blades.
It consists of a central core of hard alloy steel with VG10 carbon on which steel sheets are folded, creating a hard, extremely sharp blade up to 15° and highly resistant to oxidation and wear.
The hardness level of the blade is 61 (±1) HRC (a knife with a hardness above 56 HRC is considered good).
Handle
The handle is made of a mixture of materials, consisting of resin and natural fibers, which is very durable and odorless.
The finish of the handle is made of stainless steel to provide more stability.
Two stainless steel rivets hold the handle tightly.
Cutting Surface
Cuts are recommended to be made on wooden or plastic cutting surfaces. Glass, stone, and marble cutting surfaces are unsuitable as they can cause permanent damage to the knife blades.
Cleaning
Wash the knife with warm water before using it for the first time. After each use, make sure to wash the knife immediately (with a mild detergent) and dry it with a soft cloth. Especially if you have cut acidic foods, you should wash the knife immediately after use.
For your own safety, you should always wipe the knife away from your body and away from its edge, using a cloth or towel.
It is not recommended to wash it in the dishwasher, but by hand, in order to protect its material and maintain its sharpness for a long time.
Sharpening
No matter how sharp a knife is at first, after some use it needs sharpening, something that you can achieve with a sharpener, sharpening stone, or strop.
You can tell if your knife cuts well with an easy test using the knife and a sheet of paper. A sharp knife can easily and cleanly cut through a sheet of paper. On the other hand, a knife that needs sharpening will struggle and its cutting will be dull.
It is also advisable to sharpen your knives with a professional occasionally, to fix any damage to the blade's edge and to maintain sharpness.
