Herb knife, 8.5 cm, Endeavour, 67 layers

Herb knife with 67-layer Damascus steel for ultimate precision

This Endeavour herb knife with an 8.5 cm blade combines Japanese VG10 steel and 67-layer Damascus steel in a compact format. With its sharp edge and ergonomic pakkawood handle, the knife gives you full control over small, precise cuts. Ideal for refined kitchen work where the details make all the difference.

Japanese precision in your hand

The blade is made from Japanese VG10 steel from Takefu Special Steel Co. in Echizen – a material renowned for its exceptional strength and sharpness. The 67 layers of Damascus steel (33 layers on each side of the core steel) not only create a beautiful pattern but also give the blade unique stability. The steel undergoes an advanced hardening process at over 1000°C followed by cooling to below -180°C, resulting in a hardness of 60–61 HRC. This ensures a sharp edge that holds its keenness even under intensive use.

Comfort and control throughout preparation

The handle in FSC-certified pakkawood provides a secure grip, even when working with smaller ingredients such as herbs, garlic or small vegetables. The material consists of compressed organic fibres treated with resin, making it resistant to moisture and heat. The ergonomic design reduces hand fatigue, even during many minutes of detailed cutting. At 276 grams, the knife sits comfortably in the hand and provides the weight and balance required for precision work.

Proper care ensures a long service life

To preserve the knife's qualities, always wash it by hand after use – it is not dishwasher safe. Use a ceramic honing steel regularly to keep the edge sharp. The pakkawood handle should be oiled approximately once a month to maintain its beautiful dark lustre and protect the wood. With the right care, this herb knife will be a faithful companion in the kitchen for many years.
