Buying guide
A thick blade built for meat
The blade is 5 mm at the spine, hardened to 60 ± 2 HRC and sharpened to 15° per side, for a sturdy edge that trims, breaks down poultry and portions ribs. The finger hole keeps your grip close to the cut. It is not a damascus knife: for a damascus blade, see our damascus meat knives.
A wenge handle and a leather sheath
The full tang runs through a wenge handle, a dark, dense wood held by three rivets. The snap-button leather sheath protects the blade in a drawer or on the way to a barbecue.

Questions
Before you buy
Is the Braise knife damascus steel?
No. Its blade is 5Cr15MoV stainless steel, with a raw black finish on the upper blade and a polished edge. Our damascus knives are in the other series.
Can it cut bones?
Cartilage and small soft poultry bones, yes, thanks to its 5 mm blade. For large hard bones, use a saw.
How do I care for the leather sheath?
Only put the knife away clean and dry, never wet. Wipe the leather with a dry cloth and treat it now and then with leather balm.
