256 layer Damascus steel composed of 16 alternating folds of carbon steel (soft and sharp) and stainless steel (robust and practically impervious to oxidation). This steel is folded on itself 16 times during the forging process. An acid treatment then reveals the characteristic lines and patterns of Damascus steel.
Snakewood is a fine precious wood from the Moraceae family. Also known as ‘letter’, ‘speckled’ or ‘leopard’ wood, it belongs to the species of tigerwood in hues of dense brown-red, exalted as much for its incredible resilience as for its beautiful colour. A unique characteristic, it is so dense it is one of the rare woods that does not float! Its robustness and natural elegance make it an ideal wood species to adorn the handle of this exceptional piece of cutlery.
Damascus steel is to cutlery what diamonds are to metalsmiths: rare, exquisite, with extraordinary properties (in the first sense of the word), Damascus steel makes your Deejo knife an exceptional piece that inspires all desires. Deejo uses one of the finest Damascus steels available in cutlery, forged in Sweden by the company Damasteel in the purest respect for tradition. This highly corrosion-resistant Damascus steel, in addition to an incredible and durable cutting property, is a true feast for the eyes: forged from 2 stainless steels, one light and the other dark, each blade reveals arabesques of grey in geometric patterns that play with the light in a breath-taking tone on tone. Each piece is unique, subtly revealing the precise gestures and talents of the smith.
Prestigious and particularly resilient, Damascus is one of the most durable steel alloys in the world, provided you follow a few simple instructions.
First, like any other metal blade, Damascus is susceptible to oxidation and rust. Rust is the result of oxidation of iron from prolonged exposure to humidity. Particularly rich in carbon, Damascus steel is more susceptible to rust. It is therefore essential to avoid prolonged contact with water and to dry your blade well after each use. A fortiori, dishwasher cleaning should be avoided in all circumstances or risk irreparably damaging your knife.
It is also important to avoid abrasive materials and strong chemicals, which could damage the Damascus pattern that makes these blades so beautiful and unique.
For sharpening, a Damascus steel blade is conventionally sharpened using a whet stone, sharpening steel or other suitable sharpener. However, care should be taken not to damage the characteristic pattern of the blade during this operation. In addition, the steel’s hardness may require more time to sharpen than a regular blade. Therefore, a precise procedure is recommended (respecting the 40-degree angle of the edge of the blade), using firm and repeated strokes over a period a little longer than usual.
