FAQ

Can I wash this tomato knife in the dishwasher?
No, it's best to wash this knife by hand. Damaststaal and Pakkahout don't fare well in the dishwasher: high temperatures and aggressive detergent attack both the blade and the handle. Rinse the knife under warm water after use, dry it immediately and set it aside — this keeps the blade sharp and the handle in top condition.
How do I keep the blade as sharp as possible for as long as possible?
The VG-MAX steel of this knife retains its sharpness exceptionally well thanks to its hard composition, but a little maintenance always helps. Sharpen it regularly with a suitable whetstone or a ceramic sharpening rod. Note: do not use a regular steel honing rod — that is too hard for this type of Japanese steel and will damage the blade. Store the knife preferably on a magnetic strip or in a knife block so the cutting edge doesn't bump against anything.
Is this knife suitable for ingredients other than tomatoes?
Definitely. The 15 cm serrated blade works excellently for anything with a firm skin and soft interior: think kiwis, peaches, strawberries, figs or other ripe fruits. The fine serration cuts through the skin without crushing the flesh, producing neat, thin slices. For hard vegetables or meat this knife is less suitable — for those tasks it's better to use another knife from your collection.
What is Pakkahout and why is it a good choice for the handle?
Pakkahout is a compressed wood composite that is stronger and more moisture-resistant than ordinary wood. It absorbs far less moisture, doesn't warp easily and won't crack. The handle has an ergonomic D-shape, which means it fits neatly into the hollow of your hand. This gives you good control and reduces the chance of fatigue during prolonged cutting. The warm appearance of the material also gives the knife a stylish, handcrafted character.
What exactly does the Damastpatroon of 32 layers mean?
The blade consists of a core of VG-MAX stainless steel, surrounded by 32 layers of Damaststaal. Those layers are folded and forged around the core, resulting in the recognizable wavy pattern on the knife. This is not merely decorative: the layered construction reinforces the blade around the hard core while making it more flexible, so it is less likely to break or chip. Corrosion resistance is an additional benefit of this construction.
