The utility knife handles smaller slicing and trimming, and the paring knife peeling and fine work.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eQ: How often will it need sharpening?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eA: Katana Saya suggest honing with a sharpening steel every few times you cook, and sharpening fully with a whetstone or roller sharpener every 3 to 6 months. Regular honing keeps the edge feeling sharp between sharpens.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eQ: Is Damascus steel just for looks?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eA: No. Forge-welding 67 layers of steel gives a blade that holds its edge, stays tough and resists corrosion. The rippled pattern is simply a sign of how it was made.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Katana Saya","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":39683519709242,"sku":"012887","price":249.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0072\/1875\/7690\/files\/KatanaSayaOliveWoodKnifeBlockSet6PieceKSO-600-6B1.webp?v=1794485144","url":"https:\/\/aolcookshop.co.uk\/products\/katana-saya-olive-wood-knife-block-set-6-piece","provider":"Art of Living Cookshop","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
