Care Instructions for Tricolour Copper Damascus Kitchen Knives
Natural Oxidation: Copper may change colour or darken due to air exposure; this is normal and does not affect functionality or safety.
Cleaning and Maintenance: To maintain shine, periodically clean the blade with lemon juice, rinse, and dry thoroughly. The citric acid helps remove oxidation and restore appearance.
Avoid Moisture: Minimise contact with water; clean and dry immediately after use.
The Nakiri knife blade is forged with a 37-layer construction, featuring a core of 12Cr18MoV stainless steel encased in alternating layers of purple copper, brass, and 316L stainless steel. The 12Cr18MoV core provides high hardness and excellent edge retention, ensuring clean, precise cuts for longer periods. Purple copper contributes antimicrobial properties and a sophisticated visual appeal, while brass enhances corrosion resistance and balances the Damascus pattern aesthetically. 316L stainless steel adds a highly corrosion-resistant protective layer, ideal for humid kitchen environments. This combination not only ensures aesthetic beauty but also promotes durability, oxidation resistance, and exceptional cutting performance. With a hardness of 60±2 HRC, the knife delivers a refined edge with outstanding wear resistance.
