Douron Chef knife

Chef knife, 33 cm. The Douron knives from Pillivuyt Gourmet are of very high quality and feature a truly beautiful and stylish design. The knives have blades made of damascus steel, folded in 67 layers, and can be sharpened to an extremely sharp edge. Oak is one of the most durable types of wood and is therefore ideal for use in knives and utensils designed for daily use. With regular maintenance using oil, the lifespan is extended. The brass rivets on the handle will naturally develop a patina over time and can, if needed, be polished with ordinary brass cleaner to maintain the shiny, golden appearance.

The product’s wood component is FSC™-certified oak wood (FSC-C166612).

Douron – the natural choice
The series consists of functional kitchen products made primarily from oiled oak. It has a simple and warm expression, and the natural grain of the wood gives each product its own unique character.

Give the wood a good start
Wood is a living material that naturally changes over time. Some people appreciate the warm patina that develops slowly, while others prefer to maintain its original look – this can be preserved with the right care and maintenance. Before first use, we recommend saturating the wood with a neutral-tasting cooking oil – such as grapeseed oil. Make sure the wood is completely dry before you begin. Rub in the oil with a clean cloth, let it soak in for at least 6 hours, and then wipe off any excess. Wait 24 hours before using the product.

Good advice for daily use
Wood should not be washed in the dishwasher – the high heat and humidity can cause it to crack. Instead, wash the item by hand with mild soap right after use, dry it with a tea towel, and let it air dry completely before storing. If the surface becomes rough or develops small scratches, it can easily be sanded with fine sandpaper once fully dry. Wipe with a well-wrung cloth, let it dry – and finish with a fresh layer of oil.
