This product is intended for use only by adults with knowledge and experience in handling sharp cutting tools. Improper use of the knife can result in serious injuries. The blade is extremely sharp and can easily cut through skin and tissue; therefore, extra caution should always be exercised while cutting, and hands should be kept away from the cutting edge. To prevent the knife from slipping, it is recommended to cut on a stable, non-slip surface and avoid excessive force, which may cause uncontrolled blade movement.
Leaving the knife on the edge of a table, countertop, or in easily accessible places—especially where children are present—poses a significant safety risk. The knife should always be properly secured after use, ideally by placing it on a stable surface or storing it in designated knife blocks, protective sheaths, or magnetic strips. The knife should never be used for tasks it is not designed for, such as opening cans or prying objects, as this can damage the tool and lead to dangerous accidents.
A dull blade increases the risk of injury, as it requires more force and is more likely to slip from the material being cut. Therefore, it is essential to sharpen the knife regularly to maintain optimal sharpness. Additionally, proper cleaning and drying of the knife are necessary to prevent corrosion and bacterial growth. Periodic inspection of the handle and blade is recommended to check for cracks, chips, or looseness. If any damage is detected, the knife should be repaired or replaced immediately.
When using the knife, focus solely on the task at hand—avoid talking on the phone, watching television, or other distractions while cutting. Ensure proper lighting in the workspace for better visibility and control. Please note that some countries or regions have laws restricting the ownership and carrying of knives. Before purchasing or using this knife, verify that its use is legal in your location according to applicable regulations.
Following these safety guidelines will help ensure safe and effective knife use, minimizing the risk of accidents and extending the lifespan of the tool.
The Tramuntana Decor Habitat Santoku Abalone/Epoxy, VG10 Damascus (CD11) is an artfully crafted kitchen knife that harmoniously combines exceptional aesthetics with superior functionality. Based on the classic Santoku geometry , it is a versatile kitchen tool, perfect for working with vegetables, fish and meat. The use of high-quality materials and refined ergonomics make this model meet the expectations of both professionals and cooking enthusiasts. The blade with a VG10 core surrounded by 67-layer damascus steel offers not only long-lasting sharpness and abrasion resistance, but also unique aesthetics thanks to its distinct wavy pattern. The Granton Edge' s distinctive longitudinal recesses reduce slicing resistance and make it easier to cut thin slices without sticking to the blade. The high balance supports cutting precision, and the minimalist form enriched with finishing details makes this model not only a functional tool, but also an object of functional culinary art. Handle is made of epoxy resin with embedded abalone mother of pearl, creating a unique visual effect and providing resistance to moisture, temperature and wear. The polished bolster and ergonomic shape promote a firm grip and control over movement. CD11 is an excellent choice for those who appreciate high quality, craftsmanship and unique style - a kitchen knife that brings elegance and professionalism to any kitchen.
VG-10 - a grade of high-carbon stainless alloy tool steel created specifically for making premium blades and knives. The steel recipe was developed in Japan by Takefu Special Steel co. Ltd, which is headquartered in Takefu, Fukui Prefecture. Initially used in the production of kitchen knives, it quickly found use as an excellent material for utility blades. Due to import restrictions, almost all knives made of VG-10 steel are produced in Seki, Japan.
Granton Edge (also known as dimpled blade) is a distinctive oval or oblong indentation milled alternately on both sides of the blade, just above the cutting edge. Its main advantage is the reduction of friction - the indentations create pockets of air, reducing the sticking of food (e.g. meat, fish, cheese, vegetables) to the blade. This facilitates smooth cutting of thin, even slices (e.g., salmon, roasts) with less effort. It is named after the Granton Knifemakers company in Sheffield, which patented the design in 1928, although the term is now used generically. The Granton edge is often found in Santoku knives, slicing knives and some chef's knives. It's important not to confuse it with a serrated blade, which has teeth on the cutting edge itself - a Granton edge is an indentation on the side of the blade at the smooth cutting edge.
Blade - the blade profile is based on the classic Santoku shape , which provides a large cutting surface and excellent control when chopping, slicing and dicing. The VG10 core guarantees excellent sharpness retention and abrasion resistance, while the multi-layer damascus steel construction enhances durability and aesthetic qualities. The full flat grind used enables smooth and precise cutting. Thanks to the right balance between the weight and length of the blade, the knife works perfectly with the movement of the wrist, increasing control over every movement. The aesthetic lines of the damascus further emphasize the Blade's unique character, making it the focal point of both the tool and its visual presentation.
Handle - a combination of modern materials and decorative form, which give the knife a unique look and practical durability. Transparent epoxy resin with embedded abalone mother-of-pearl provides moisture resistance and eye-catching aesthetics - each piece has an individual pattern and texture. The ergonomic contouring of the handle and slightly rounded edges promote comfort, while the polished bolster provides a smooth transition between Blade and Handle and strengthens the knife's construction. The material is smooth, but not slippery - allowing the knife to be guided with precision even with wet hands. This solution combines functionality and sophistication, meeting the expectations of the most demanding users of premium kitchen tools.
