The Tramuntana Decor Habitat Kiritsuke Stabilized Wood/Epoxy, VG10 Damascus was created for the most demanding users - professional chefs and culinary enthusiasts who are looking for a knife that combines perfect cutting qualities with refined aesthetics. The Kiritsuke form , inspired by Japanese tradition, combines the functions of a chef's knife and usuba, offering exceptional control over cutting meat, fish and vegetables. Blade is made of VG10 Damascus steel core surrounded by 67 layers of damascus for long-lasting sharpness, abrasion resistance and the unique wave pattern of each blade. The flat grinding geometry facilitates effortless cutting. The distinctive beveled blade tip allows for precise slicing and working in tight working spaces. Handle made of stabilized wood and epoxy resin not only stands out visually, but also provides resistance to moisture, temperatures and heavy use. Ergonomic contouring guarantees a comfortable grip and smooth movement even during long hours of work. The CD01 model is an excellent choice for those who expect perfect balance, masterful precision and unique design.
VG-10 - a grade of high-carbon stainless alloy tool steel created specifically for the manufacture of high-grade blades and knives. The steel recipe was developed in Japan by Takefu Special Steel co. Ltd, which is headquartered in Takefu, Fukui Prefecture. Initially used in the production of kitchen knives, it quickly found use as an excellent material for utility blades. Due to import restrictions, almost all knives made of VG-10 steel are produced in Seki, Japan.
Blade - based on the Kiritsuke geometry , characterized by a straight working edge and a beveled tip - a solution that combines the cutting precision of a usuba knife with the versatility of a classic chef's knife. The VG10 steel core guarantees excellent working sharpness, corrosion resistance and ease of sharpening. The 67-layer VG10 Damascus construction increases durability and gives the Blade a unique texture, exposed by an elegant mirror finish. The flat grind promotes cutting precision and reduces drag, which translates into comfort when slicing, chopping or shredding. Thanks to its proper balance, the Blade runs perfectly on the board and supports the natural rhythm of the hand. This is a solution created for intensive kitchen use, which will meet the expectations of even the most demanding users.
Stabilized wood is wood that has undergone a special impregnation process to fill its pores and cells with synthetic resins, usually acrylic or epoxy. The process involves placing the wood in a vacuum chamber, where air is removed from its structure, and then the resin is injected under pressure. Once saturated, the wood is thermally cured, which causes the resin to polymerize and permanently bind to the wood fibers.
Handle - made of a combination of stabilized wood and epoxy resin, which provides resistance to moisture, deformation and mechanical damage. The pressure stabilization process preserves the structure of natural wood, while strengthening it with modern technology. Transparent resin gives each piece a unique, decorative character - each Handle has its own unique arrangement of colors and textures. Ergonomic profiling supports natural hand positioning and reduces fatigue even during prolonged use. The smooth surface makes it easy to clean, and the polished bolster completes the design, providing a smooth transition between blade and handle and stability during use. This Handle is not only a utilitarian component - it is an element that gives the knife a prestigious character, harmoniously complementing its functionality.
