Chroma Dorimu D - 01, All-purpose knife, 12 cm, Full Damascus steel

Like hand-forged: Damascus steel that cuts pure Damascus. Dorimu, the knife of dreams (Dorimu means `dream` in Japanese), is a genuine Damascus knife without the usual VG-10 core. With Dorimu, as with many hand-forged Damascus knives, it`s the folded layers, not the core, that do the cutting. This keeps it sharp longer and allows it to be sharpened to a finer edge. The comfortable handle, made of Norwegian iron maple, won`t shrink due to changes in humidity thanks to its special finish. The new CHROMA DORIMU series revolutionizes the kitchen with its genuine Damascus blade and wooden handle. The technique of Damascus forging has existed for 2,500 years, and then as now, it represents a pinnacle of blacksmithing. Knives with a full Damascus blade are therefore considered the Ferrari of kitchen knives. This is also reflected in the price; genuine Damascus knives usually cost thousands. With the new high-quality Dorimu series, which translates to `dream` in English, Chroma is now bringing amateur and professional chefs a step closer to their knife dreams.
