Bright and Dark Steel Layers Create Unique and Intricate Damascus Steel Patterns

The blade edges of the SOK Cocobolo White Damascus series knives feature a VG10 steel core, which offers excellent resistance to corrosion and external mechanical damage. VG10 steel is renowned for its exceptional sharpness, with a hardness of R61 +/- 1 on the Rockwell scale. The VG10 core is sandwiched between 66 layers of two stainless steels with differing hardness levels (Damascus steel), ensuring extraordinary durability and resilience. The production process involves precise vacuum heat treatment, providing the Damascus steel with exceptional strength and toughness. White Damascus steel, also known as "white pattern-welded steel," is distinguished by its contrasting bright and dark steel layers, forming unique and intricate patterns. These patterns range from simple lines to complex mosaic designs, adding a striking visual appeal. The perfectly balanced Japanese-style blade and hand-sharpened edge ensure that you’ll soon forget about the other knives in your kitchen. The sharp blade allows for precise, effortless, and safe cutting. It’s ideal even for beginners, offering easy handling and excellent performance in the kitchen.

...And the Handle

The handle is crafted from exotic Cocobolo wood, renowned for its rich color and unique texture. Cocobolo is a highly prized tropical hardwood originating from Central America, particularly Mexico, Panama, Costa Rica, and Nicaragua. It is extremely hard and dense, with a natural oil content that provides excellent resistance to water and moisture. Cocobolo wood is highly stable and withstands changes in humidity and warping exceptionally well. Due to its hardness, Cocobolo is challenging to cut and polish, making each handle a testament to skilled craftsmanship. The handles are ergonomically shaped to ensure excellent hand control and comfort during use. The specially designed bolster shape is tailored for the Asian-style knife grip, enhancing precision and ease of use.

How to Care for Your Knife and What to Avoid

To Keep It Always Sharp

For daily edge maintenance, use a honing steel. We recommend diamond and water sharpening stones for a more thorough sharpening. If you're not 100% confident in your skills, feel free to contact us. We will sharpen your knives individually to your preference. We also regularly organize knife sharpening courses. Alternatively, seek out a professional sharpener in your area. Damage caused by improper sharpening can be irreversible.
