Its approximately 52mm-tall blade gives comfortable knuckle clearance and plenty of usable surface area for preparing vegetables, boneless meat and fish.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eOur hands-on experience\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eWe have used this knife in our own kitchen, and its performance lives up to its appearance. The 52100 core held its edge well through regular cooking, while the blade's grind helped ingredients separate from the face more readily than they do with many thin, highly polished knives.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eIt cuts cleanly without feeling overly delicate and offers the practical food release we look for in an everyday chef's knife. The rainbow Damascus is distinctive, but this is an accomplished cutting tool rather than a knife that relies on appearance alone.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eAn honest note about the finish\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe black acid-etched finish provides some initial protection against oxidation, but it is not permanent and does not make the blade stainless. With use, the dark finish can gradually fade or wear, particularly within the darker sections of the rainbow pattern.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThis happened on the knife we personally tested. It did not affect cutting performance, and the blade continued to look attractive, but customers should expect the finish to evolve rather than remain completely unchanged.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe exposed 52100 cutting core is reactive carbon steel and can develop a natural patina. Wash the knife by hand and dry it immediately after use.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eHandle\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe dark ebony handle is paired with a natural horn ferrule, creating a restrained counterpoint to the colourful blade. Natural variations in the wood and horn are part of the character of a handmade knife.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eWho this knife is for\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eCooks who value good edge retention from 52100 carbon steel\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eAnyone looking for a versatile 210mm K-tip chef's knife\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eThose who appreciate a grind that encourages food release\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eOwners comfortable with the care required by reactive carbon steel\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eCooks who want handmade construction and an individual appearance\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThis knife is less suitable for someone who wants a dishwasher-safe knife, a maintenance-free stainless blade, or a decorative finish that will remain completely unchanged.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\n\u003ctable\u003e\n  \u003ctbody\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth scope=\"row\"\u003eMaker\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eTu Nguyen Manh \/ OG Knives Workshop\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth scope=\"row\"\u003ePlace of manufacture\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eHanoi, Vietnam\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth scope=\"row\"\u003eKnife type\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eKiritsuke gyuto \/ K-tip chef's knife\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth scope=\"row\"\u003eBlade length\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eApproximately 210mm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth scope=\"row\"\u003eBlade height\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eApproximately 52mm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth scope=\"row\"\u003eSpine thickness\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eApproximately 2.5mm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth scope=\"row\"\u003eCore steel\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e52100 high-carbon chromium steel\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth scope=\"row\"\u003eCladding\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eRainbow Damascus\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth scope=\"row\"\u003eFinish\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eBlack acid etch\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth scope=\"row\"\u003eHandle\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eEbony with natural horn ferrule\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth scope=\"row\"\u003eSteel care\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eReactive carbon steel\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth scope=\"row\"\u003eRecommended use\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eVegetables, boneless meat, fish and general preparation\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n  \u003c\/tbody\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eCare instructions\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eHand-wash only and dry immediately.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eDo not leave the blade wet or resting against acidic foods.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eApply a small amount of food-safe knife oil before extended storage.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eExpect the core steel to develop a patina and the black acid etch to soften with use.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eDo not cut bones, frozen food or hard shells.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eAvoid twisting or lateral force through the fine K-tip.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Tu Nguyen","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49839265480961,"sku":"TN-RD-52100-KG210-EBH","price":395.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0793\/7687\/5777\/files\/tu-nguyen-52100-rainbow-damascus-kiritsuke-210mm-hero.jpg?v=1784110524"}],"url":"https:\/\/tokushuknife.eu\/de\/collections\/rainbow-steel.oembed","provider":"Tokushu Knife Malta","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
