The Tramuntana Decor Habitat Chef Stabilized Wood/Epoxy, VG10 Damascus is a premium tool designed for professionals and passionate chefs who demand the highest quality both functionally and aesthetically. Based on the proven geometry of a chef's knife, this model provides full control over cutting - regardless of the type of ingredients or work technique. The core of the blade is made of high-quality VG10 steel, which guarantees long-lasting sharpness and resistance to abrasion and corrosion. The outer layers of 67-layer damascus reinforce the Blade's construction and create a distinctive, decorative pattern that distinguishes each piece. A full, flat grind allows for even pressure distribution and reduces food sticking. Thanks to its proper balance, the blade supports the natural movement of the hand during use and ensures exceptional smoothness of slicing. Handle is made of a combination of stabilized wood and transparent epoxy resin, creating a durable and aesthetically pleasing whole with a unique design and moisture resistance. Ergonomic profiling improves comfort, while the polished bolster provides a smooth transition between blade and handle and improves the balance of the knife. The CD02 model is an excellent choice for people who expect from a knife not only efficiency, but also masterful workmanship.
VG-10 - a grade of high-carbon stainless alloy tool steel created specifically for making premium 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 classic chef profile , which guarantees versatility and precision in everyday kitchen work. The VG10 steel core provides high hardness and abrasion resistance, while allowing convenient sharpening. The surrounding layers of damast not only strengthen the structure of the blade, but give it the elegant wavy pattern characteristic of multi-layer forging. The full-flat grind guarantees a clean cutting line and minimal resistance during use. Blade is balanced to support the rocker cutting technique and to allow convenient scraping of products from the board to the pot. It's tailor-made for professional needs, but also available for discerning home 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 - combines stabilized wood with epoxy resin , creating a moisture-resistant and highly durable structure, which at the same time attracts the eye with a unique organic-transparent pattern. Each piece has a unique arrangement of colors and textures, resulting from the natural properties of the wood and the transparency of the resin. The profile of the handle has been refined with ergonomics in mind - the gentle curves and appropriate width promote a natural grip and reduce hand fatigue during prolonged work. A polished bolster completes the whole, optimizing balance and adding a sophisticated touch to the knife. It's a handle designed with comfort, style and durability in mind - an element that complements the exceptional quality of this prestigious kitchen tool.
