A fellow Exchange member sent me one knife of a set to check out. He said it was Damascus style, difficult to sharpen and expensive when purchased a very long time ago.
Indeed, it is a made in Japan, 17 layer Damascus, Sweden Stainless Steel blade, and seems like a very nice knife. But that is not what I found most interesting. What sparked my curiosity was this:
Really! Who knew? And it’s not flexible plastic that burps to form a vacuum of freshness when you squeeze the handle.
I’ve searched around and have found no references to it on-line. None at all. I even searched through vintage sections on eBay. Nothing.
Has anyone ever come across a set of knives like this?
