{"product_id":"couteau-de-chef-damas-21-cm-nacre-abalone","title":"Iris · Damascus Chef Knife 8\"","description":"\u003cp class=\"cd-intro\"\u003eThe Iris chef knife is the centerpiece of the abalone series: an 8-inch blade, 8.5 oz, a curve that lets you rock-chop and a tip for fine work. Its weight gives it a steady feel on squash or a roast. It is the same length as the series kiritsuke, but the more curved blade is better for chopping. The abalone shell handle, set in resin, shifts color with the light, from green to violet.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe chef knife (gyuto in Japanese) is the do-it-all kitchen knife: dice onions, chop herbs, slice meat, portion fish. The long, gently curved blade rocks on the board for fast chopping. If you could only own one knife, this would be it. Japanese-style blade, thin and hard.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eBlade and Handle\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe Iris Damascus Chef Knife 8\" has a blade made of 67 layers of damascus steel around a 10Cr15CoMoV steel core, hardened to 60 ± 2 HRC. The handle is abalone shell set in clear resin: it shifts from green to blue to violet as the light moves. Every shell is different, so every handle is one of a kind. A steel bolster joins handle and blade, and a gold mosaic pin sets off the shell.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eShipping and Returns\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eDamascus Knife ships free with tracking across the United States: 1 to 3 business days to prepare, then 8 to 14 business days in transit, import duties included.
