Chef's Knife 20 cm Endeavour, 67 Layers

Chef's knife 20 cm – Japanese precision in your kitchen

The Endeavour Discovery Pro chef's knife at 20 cm combines Japanese VG10 steel with Western knife-making traditions. With 67 layers of Damascus steel and a hardness of 60–61 HRC, this chef's knife delivers outstanding sharpness and durability. It is ideal for precise cuts through vegetables, fruits, and pieces of meat where both control and cutting performance are essential.

A precision tool for professional results

The 20 cm blade is made from premium VG10 steel sourced from Takefu Special Steel Co. in Echizen, Japan. The knife undergoes an advanced production process, being hardened at over 1000°C and then cooled to below -180°C. This results in an exceptional hardness of 60–61 HRC, ensuring long-lasting sharpness. The Damascus-patterned surface with 33 layers on each side of the core not only enhances the knife's aesthetics but also contributes to its resilience and minimal friction during use.

Ergonomic design for extended cooking sessions

The FSC-certified pakkawood handle provides a secure grip even during prolonged use. The material is water-resistant and resistant to heat and deformation, making the knife comfortable to work with even when preparing larger meals. The carefully considered balance between blade and handle (total weight 595 grams) gives you full control and reduces strain on the wrist and fingers, allowing you to focus entirely on cooking.
