Why Damascus Steel
The multi-layered, hammered blade is hard, holds its edge for a long time, and looks striking too. The hammered dimples reduce food sticking to the blade, so slices fall away more easily – a genuine outdoor tool with character.
Care
Wash it by hand after use and dry it thoroughly (steel doesn't like sitting around wet), and oil the olive wood handle from time to time. Never put it in the dishwasher. Store it somewhere dry – ideally in its case, which protects the blade on the move.
BBQ Tip
Let meat rest for 3–4 minutes after grilling, then slice it against the grain with a sharp knife – that's what keeps it juicy. Add freshly ground pepper only once it's carved.
