This knife is the most powerful in the series. With its size and stable blade, it's designed for major kitchen tasks. It cuts through piles of herbs and vegetables. It's also suitable for precise cuts of crispy vegetables and meat, thanks to the large blade that provides stable control over what you're working with. The knife is the flagship of the Discovery series.

Steel: The knife is made from the finest Japanese VG10 steel. VG10 is developed and crafted by Takefu Special Steel Co. in Echizen, Japan. The VG10 name may only be used when produced by Takefu Special Steel Co. in Japan. VG10 adds strength and power to this knife due to its exceptional raw strength.

Construction: The knife is hand-ground and polished to achieve ultimate sharpness. It's forged in 67 layers, with 33 layers on each side of the core steel. The steel is hardened at over 1000 degrees and then cooled to below -180 degrees. This process ensures the steel's hardness at 60-61 HRC and contributes to the knife's lightness, strength, and incredible sharpness.

Handle: The FSC-certified Pakka wood makes a significant difference as it's resistant to heat and distortion. Pakka wood is water-resistant, providing stable control over the knife. It consists of compressed wood fibers treated with resin. The handle is ergonomically designed, ensuring a comfortable grip.

We recommend: Hand washing this knife since it's crafted from the finest VG10 Japanese steel. Use a ceramic honing rod frequently to maintain sharpness. Proper storage and occasional oiling of the handle are advisable.

Damascus steel
Endeavour [en-de-var] means “to strive”. The professional chef’s knives in the Endeavour range are made of Damascus steel. The middle of the blade’s cutting edge, made of Japanese VG10 steel, is enveloped by 33 layers of beautifully forged steel on each side. This method of manufacturing gives the Endeavour knives their characteristic appearance and makes them extremely sharp and durable. The Damascus forging technique was widespread during the Samurai days of glory when the sword makers from Seki achieved a legendary reputation for their Damascus swords. Technically, the Japanese masters leaned on a forging tradition that is alleged to come from Damascus. Hence, the name Damascus steel.

* The hardness of steel is measured in the Rockwell-scale. It is measured by pressing a standardized diamond cone into the steel, to a certain depth. The acquired force used is used to calculate the value on the Rockwell-scale. The harder the steel — the higher the score on the scale.
Most knives register a hardness of 51-53 HRC.
