Segmenting a grapefruit, cutting down a block of cheese, slicing through a punnet of cherry tomatoes in two passes, trimming a chicken breast into even portions before it goes in the pan.

It's the knife that doesn't get put away at the end of a session because you keep picking it back up.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003e73-Layer Damascus, Powder Steel Core\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe core is 14Cr14MoVNb powder steel at 62 HRC.
