HENCKELS Compass Damascus 8-inch Damascus Bread Knife

HENCKELS Compass Damascus blades are as beautiful to the eye as they are functional in the hand. Featuring a protective 23-layer Damascus pattern that surrounds a strong D60 core steel, Compass Damascus blades encourage long-lasting sharpness for the home cook and aspiring chefs alike. The core, forged from D60 steel, is protected by a stunning 45 layers of highquality stainless steel. These impressive blades undergo a thorough oil-quenching process resulting in remarkable corrosion resistance. With an average Rockwell hardness of 60, these strong blades deliver exceptional versatility and durability with impressive edge retention. Acting as an extension of the hand, the innovative curved bolster supports the “pinch grip”, for slicing with improved precision, safety, and comfort. The triplerivet, contoured handle is adorned with a stainless-steel endcap and provides a smooth, well-balanced feel in the hand. The sleek handle is complemented by a decorative mosaic pin in the center rivet for an elevated design.
