Frequently Asked Questions

Q: What is Damascus steel and why does it make a better kitchen knife?

A: Damascus steel is created by folding and forge-welding multiple layers of steel together, producing a blade with exceptional strength, edge retention, and a distinctive layered visual pattern. The InLeung Damascus cleaver is quench-splashed at 780°C and tempered at 180°C–200°C, resulting in a blade that holds a razor-sharp edge longer than standard stainless steel knives and withstands daily kitchen use with ease.

Q: Is the InLeung Damascus cleaver suitable for both meat and vegetables?

A: Absolutely. The 18 cm blade with a blade angle greater than 60° makes this Damascus cleaver highly versatile — ideal for chopping, slicing, and dicing meat, poultry, root vegetables, herbs, and more. Its weight (392 g) provides enough heft for efficient chopping while remaining manageable for detailed cutting tasks.

Q: How should I care for the wood handle on this Damascus knife?

A: To keep the riveted wood handle in top condition, always hand-wash the knife and dry it immediately after use. Avoid prolonged soaking in water or placing it in a dishwasher, as this can cause the wood to warp or crack over time. Occasionally treating the handle with a food-safe wood oil will help preserve its natural finish and extend the life of the knife.
