The great philosopher, Aristotle believed that work (or ergon) is the means by which human beings find personal happiness and fulfillment. In his best known work on ethics, Aristotle argued that what sets human beings apart from other species is our capacity to reason and guide our lives through meaningful action. This is the greatest good for human life. If we are hard working and reasonable people over the course of our lifetime, we will be happy. In honor of those who make cooking their work of choice, we present the Ergon 5" Japanese Damascus Steel Utility knife with G-10 handle.
We believe that a chef’s work is among the most esteemed forms of artistry and meaningful professions there is. And while philosophy is our interest, providing great kitchen tools for every home chef is our passion. Whether you are a professional chef, or cooking is simply your weekend hobby, a Damascus steel utility knife is a must-have. This general purpose knife is ideal for performing smaller work, such as peeling and slicing fruits and vegetables, or chopping herbs. Because of its shorter length, the utility knife is easier to maneuver and control. It is also an ideal size for novice chefs who are just learning new techniques.
Good reason will tell you that our Japanese Damascus Steel knife is a solid choice in kitchen cutlery. Forged from 67 layers of imported Japanese Damascus Steel with AUS10 steel core, this utility knife is a force to be reckoned with. The high carbon content in this top-quality steel makes for a durable, yet flexible blade with an incredibly sharp edge that’s easy to sharpen when needed.
