What Should You Consider Buying a Damascus Chef Knife Set?
There are several factors to consider while buying a Damascus kitchen knife set. We have elaborated a few factors. You may find these useful in order to make informed decisions.
Blade Material
It is important to consider what type of material is used in a blade. The blade may consist of stainless steel or high carbon Damascus steel or ceramic. Each one has its own pros and cons. Stainless steel is commonly used because it does not require any maintenance. However, this steel cannot hold the edge and dull very quickly. You may not perform precision or hard work with it.
High carbon Damascus steel is a very hard material. The blades with this steel are usually very sharp and can hold edge for a long time. However, it rusts quickly if not properly maintained.
Ergonomics and Comfort
The next thing to consider is the construction of the handle. It must be comfortable and easy to hold in hand. This comfort is achieved with the suitable shape of handle and appropriate handle material. You can select the handle shape that fits in your hand perfectly.
You will find a range of handle materials. These are wood, plastic, bone, horn, micarta etc.
Knife Variety
You must consider what type of knives are included in the set and what you want. There can be different knives in a single set. These are chef, paring, utility, santoku, filet, steak, cleaver/chopper, bread and butter knives. You may select the set which contains most of the needed knives.
Physically Appealing
The knife must be physically appealing. While in your hand it must show your taste and passion. At the same time it must be like an artifact in the kitchen. The Damascus steel is highly attractive. Its wavy patterns grab the attention of others quickly.
