Nesmuk Exclusive C90 Chef’s Knife 140mm – Juniper

The knives of the EXKLUSIV C90 series are the entry into the Nesmuk EXKLUSIV world of hand-forged Damascus steel. The blade of the chef’s knife consists of 230 layers and has a hardness of 62 HRC. Like all Nesmuk Damascus knives, they are also manufactured in the company’s own forge. Best tool steels with high carbon content and rare metals such as tungsten, create blades with the finest sharpness and a longer service life. Unlike the EXKLUSIV C100 and C150 series, the blades are machine ground. The 140mm blade is 2mm thick, 280mm long in total, and completely hand-forged. 

The handmade Damascus steel is superior in punko cutting ability and sharpness to the knives of the SOUL and JANUS series made of patented niobium steel. Here carbon steels still have an advantage over stainless steels. The 140 mm long blade makes the knife an all-rounder in any kitchen. Carbon content: 0.9%. From fire welding and forging, hardening, tempering and grinding the hollow grind to assembling the handle. The production of a Nesmuk EXKLUSIV knife takes almost four dozen steps. The result is exceptional sharpness.

Thanks to the glass-like NPC coating (Nesmuk Protective Coating) developed together with the Fraunhofer Institute for Chemical Technology, the Nesmuk EXKLUSIV blades are protected against corrosion. The cutting bevel of the blade is not coated. Therefore, you should always clean your Nesmuk EXKLUSIV knife after use. Clean the blade with detergent and under running water, dry well afterwards.

Genuine, hand-forged Damascus – and yet unusually light: Weighing only about 130 g, depending on the handle material, the EXKLUSIV C90 chef’s knife is the lightest knife in the collection. The hollow grind applied to 210 layers of Damascus on one side creates the unique look and outstanding cutting properties of the hand-forged blade. Ergonomic and solid handles for fatigue-free work: The design of the Nesmuk handle is as aesthetic as it is practical. For the Juniper wooden handles, Nesmuk uses only the best, often hand-picked pieces of exquisite quality. With wood as a naturally grown material, each handle is unique due to its individual grain, color shades and inclusions.

Included: High quality matte black box, certificate of authenticity.
