The blade of the SOK Cocobolo White Damascus series of knives has a cutting core made of VG 10 steel, which is very well protected against corrosion and external mechanical damage. VG10 steel has a unique sharpness at R61 +/- 1 Rockwell hardness.

These designs can vary greatly, from simple lines to intricate mosaic designs. These contrasting properties contribute to the formation of visible layers.

It is ideal even for beginners who can easily work with these kitchen knives. Knives SOK will become your favorite!!

The handle is made of exotic Cocobolo wood, which is sought after for its colour and texture. Cocobolo is a highly prized tropical hardwood from Central America, especially Mexico, Panama, Costa Rica and Nicaragua. Cocobolo is an extremely hard and dense wood with a natural oil content that provide excellent resistance to water and moisture. It is very stable and well resistant to changes in humidity and deformation. Due to its hardness, Cocobolo wood is difficult to cut and sand - the handles are ergonomically shaped and designed for excellent hand control. The specially designed shape of the guard is suitable for Asian knife grip. Cocobolo wood is particularly sought after by knife makers, kitchenware manufacturers and artists.
