  Explanations

  I have owned the knife for several years now, I did not buy it at Galaxus. However, the knife is not equipped with a damask blade. The damask steel is drawn as a laminate over the actual cutting steel VG-10 for reasons of appearance. Now VG-10 is an excellent blade steel. For real Damascus steel knives you are in a different price league. However, I would advise anyone who, in addition to this knife, does not also want to buy at least 2 sharpening stones of the appropriate grit and a leather belt with polishing paste not to buy it. If you don't want to bother with sharpening a knife, you are better off with classic Victorinox or similar.
  However, if you take the time to learn how to sharpen such knives with high-quality whetstones, you will get very pleasantly balanced, beautiful knives with VG-10 blades in the Shun series from Kai, a steel that is miles superior to most 0815 steels in the budget range.
  The price is right for the whole package.
  
  Oh yes, never never never put a cooking knife in the dishwasher. more
