PUMA IP kitchen knives, damascus The chef's knives in the PUMA IP series are based on a design by the German knifemaker and reference book author Ernst Siebeneicher-Hellwig and combine high Japanese blade quality with the advantages of a modern design. Each one is made with the greatest care from the best materials. The blade consists of 67 stainless steel layers, with the core made of Japanese V-Gold No.10 high carbon stainless steel (VG10). It is a very edge-retaining steel. The layers on the VG10 core consist of 33 layers on each side, alternating between the Japanese SUS 430 and SUS 431 steels. The blade is ice-hardened to approx. 60 HRC and has excellent edge retention that keeps the knife sharp for a long time. The handle is made of warp-free pakka wood. Due to these features and the high quality of workmanship, each knife is ideally suited for all cutting tasks in the kitchen. In addition, the functional handle-blade design supports the comfortable handling of all PUMA IP chef's knives. To ensure that you enjoy them for as long as possible, always store the high-quality cutting tool on a knife holder or in the packaging and please follow the care instructions that we enclose with each knife. The mighty knife with a remarkable blade length of almost 20 cm and a blade width of 6.5 cm effortlessly cuts even large items. With the "cleaver knife", even big challenges become trifles.
