This creates that unique wavy pattern on the surface and, more importantly, a super-strong blade that's razor-sharp and holds its edge way longer than regular steel. Each knife has its own pattern, like a fingerprint.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/details\u003e\n\u003cdetails style=\"margin-bottom: 10px; border-bottom: 1px solid #e5e5e5; padding-bottom: 8px;\"\u003e\n\u003csummary style=\"cursor: pointer; font-weight: bold; color: #333; font-size: 15px;\"\u003eCan the knife slice more than just bread?\u003c\/summary\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"margin-top: 8px; color: #555; font-size: 14px;\"\u003eAbsolutely. The serrated blade excels on anything with a crust or skin: tomatoes, citrus, melons, flaky pastries, even a big salami. That said, skip it for boning or fine slicing – that's not what it's made for.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/details\u003e\n\u003cdetails style=\"margin-bottom: 10px; border-bottom: 1px solid #e5e5e5; padding-bottom: 8px;\"\u003e\n\u003csummary style=\"cursor: pointer; font-weight: bold; color: #333; font-size: 15px;\"\u003eWill the blade lose its sharpness quickly?\u003c\/summary\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"margin-top: 8px; color: #555; font-size: 14px;\"\u003eNope. Damascus steel is known for holding its edge for a long time, way beyond a standard serrated knife. With normal use (bread, pastries, tomatoes), you're looking at several years before you'll need sharpening. And even then, a quick trip to a professional sharpener does the trick.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/details\u003e\n\u003cdetails style=\"margin-bottom: 10px; border-bottom: 1px solid #e5e5e5; padding-bottom: 8px;\"\u003e\n\u003csummary style=\"cursor: pointer; font-weight: bold; color: #333; font-size: 15px;\"\u003eHow do I care for my Umi knife day-to-day?\u003c\/summary\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"margin-top: 8px; color: #555; font-size: 14px;\"\u003eHand wash with soapy water, dry immediately with a clean towel. Never put it in the dishwasher – that'll damage the handle and dull the Damascus. Also avoid soaking it, especially after cutting acidic foods. A quick wipe and you're done.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/details\u003e\n\u003cdetails style=\"margin-bottom: 10px; border-bottom: 1px solid #e5e5e5; padding-bottom: 8px;\"\u003e\n\u003csummary style=\"cursor: pointer; font-weight: bold; color: #333; font-size: 15px;\"\u003eIs the resin and wood handle durable over time?\u003c\/summary\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"margin-top: 8px; color: #555; font-size: 14px;\"\u003eYes. The resin stabilizes the wood and makes it resistant to moisture, cracking, and warping. The whole thing is riveted with stainless steel to hold tight, even after years of daily use. That said, like any wood, avoid hard impacts and prolonged soaking.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/details\u003e\n\u003cdetails style=\"margin-bottom: 10px; border-bottom: 1px solid #e5e5e5; padding-bottom: 8px;\"\u003e\n\u003csummary style=\"cursor: pointer; font-weight: bold; color: #333; font-size: 15px;\"\u003eIs the knife heavy or hard to handle?\u003c\/summary\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"margin-top: 8px; color: #555; font-size: 14px;\"\u003eNope, it's well-balanced between the blade and handle, so it practically handles itself. You'll feel the weight (around 7 oz), but that's exactly what gives you stability and keeps your wrist from getting tired when you're slicing a big loaf. Even after several minutes, you'll stay comfortable.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/details\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Takumiya","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":57564727542091,"sku":"couteau-a-pain-umi--d--","price":109.9,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0794\/1649\/2363\/files\/couteau-a-pain-acier-damas-67-couches-fait-main.png?v=1781319013","url":"https:\/\/takumiya.fr\/en\/products\/japanese-damascus-bread-knife","provider":"Takumiya","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
