Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What type of steel is used in the XITUO Damascus sashimi knife?
A: The XITUO sashimi knife features a VG10 high-carbon stainless steel core encased in multi-layer Damascus steel. VG10 is a premium Japanese steel alloy renowned for its superior edge retention, corrosion resistance, and long-lasting sharpness — making it an excellent choice for sashimi and precision kitchen slicing.
Q: Is the octagonal handle comfortable for extended use?
A: Yes! The octagonal resin handle is specifically designed to fit naturally in the hand, distributing grip evenly across all fingers. The flat faces of the octagonal shape prevent the knife from rotating during use, giving you confident control whether you're making quick rough cuts or slow, precise sashimi slices.
Q: How do I care for a Damascus VG10 kitchen knife?
A: To preserve the Damascus blade's sharpness and appearance, always hand wash with mild soap and dry immediately — avoid dishwashers. Store on a magnetic knife rack or in a protective sheath. Hone regularly with a ceramic or leather strop, and sharpen with a whetstone when needed. Avoid cutting on hard surfaces like glass or ceramic plates.
Q: Is this knife suitable for both sashimi and general kitchen use?
A: Absolutely. While the XITUO knife excels at sashimi and fish slicing thanks to its ultra-sharp, long blade, it is equally capable as a general Japanese chef knife for slicing proteins, vegetables, and herbs with exceptional precision.
