Its name means “three virtues,” referring to its ability to handle meat, fish and vegetables with equal ease. With a shorter, taller profile than a Western chef’s knife, it offers precision, control and versatility in everyday cooking. The flat edge excels at push-cutting and chopping, while the wide blade makes it easy to scoop and transfer ingredients.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"743\" data-end=\"746\"\u003e–––\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"748\" data-end=\"1079\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-start=\"748\" data-end=\"777\"\u003eDamascus – Layered Beauty\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr data-start=\"777\" data-end=\"780\"\u003eDamascus steel is created by forging together multiple layers of steel, producing flowing patterns that ripple across the blade.
