Authentic Blades DAU BEP, Asian kitchen knife, carbon steel blade

DAU BEP – The Vietnamese chef's knife is a true all-rounder in the kitchen Our DAU BEP is a Vietnamese all-rounder whose name, fittingly, translates as "The Cook." It is suitable for slicing, chopping, dicing and shredding a wide variety of ingredients – from vegetables and herbs to meat and fish. Sounds like a reliable partner for your kitchen. Your chef's knife for clean cuts – no matter what's on the cutting board. With its slightly curved edge, the DAU BEP glides effortlessly through both soft and hard materials. The smooth edge ensures that you can make clean, precise cuts – whether it’s finely chopping herbs, precisely slicing vegetables, or even dicing meat. Thanks to the curved blade, you can easily master the rocking cut with this chef's knife. The tip of the knife remains on the cutting board while you move the blade back and forth in a rocking motion. This is especially useful if you want to chop herbs, onions or vegetables quickly and efficiently. Precision right down to the tip: The DAU BEP combines sharpness with stability. The blade of this chef's knife is wide and tapers towards the tip. With the help of the tapered tip, you can do fine work such as piercing meat or precisely cutting smaller ingredients. This tip makes the DAU BEP a true master when it comes to delicate cuts. The wide blade and the curved back give the knife additional stability. This ensures powerful cuts without much effort or fatigue. In addition, the slightly rounded bevel ensures a sharp cutting effect. Choose your DAU BEP knife: The bigger, the more powerful You can get our DAU BEP in three different blade lengths. This way you can find the perfect size for every cutting task. Whether you choose the knife blade with 12 cm, 16 cm or the generous 20 cm version: you always get a tool that is perfectly suited for a wide variety of tasks. •The shorter blade is ideal for precision work and smaller cutting tasks: for example, cutting herbs, small fruits and vegetables such as garlic, shallots or berries. The DAU BEP with its 12 cm long blade is also ideal for peeling fruit and vegetables or separating fat and tendons from pieces of meat.
 • The medium blade masters versatile cutting tasks in the kitchen, such as cutting vegetables, fruit, meat and fish. Hacking work can also be carried out reliably. With the DAU BEP you can chop and dice onions, carrots and other medium to large vegetables. You can also divide meat into portions, fillet fish and even chop up larger pieces of vegetables. With this variant you get a good balance between control and power, perfect for your daily kitchen work.
 • The 20 cm blade is ideal for rough cutting tasks and chopping larger foods. This ensures optimal leverage and supports you with strong force when carrying out heavy or large cutting tasks. With the large DAU BEP you can cut up melons, pumpkins, large pieces of meat or bread. The wide blade is perfect for tasks that require long, straight cuts, such as slicing roasts, hams, or filleting large fish. In addition, the blade length allows for long, even cuts – even with large quantities. Depending on the size of the model, the ricasso also increases – this means that the larger the knife, the larger the area at the back of the blade is, which is slightly blunter. Ideal for cutting powerfully without the risk of accidentally cutting yourself. Chef's knife with an extremely sharp carbon steel blade Traditional craftsmanship, a material that can be sharpened to a particularly sharp finish, and an original, rustic appearance are the secrets behind our AUTHENTIC BLADES. All blades are crafted in small, family-run workshops in Vietnam using centuries-old blacksmithing techniques. Every step of the process is done entirely by hand, making each knife unique and bearing the signature of its master blacksmith: from the creation of the knife blank with large tin snips to the hardening of the material in a bath of fire and water to the final polishing. Your DAU BEP is not a machine-made, mass-produced knife, but a piece of true craftsmanship. In addition to the blade, the handle is also made by hand. The carving gives your DAU BEP its unique character. The carbon steel, also known as carbon steel, ensures the extreme blade sharpness. Because it has a fine grain and a higher degree of hardness than other types of steel, it can be ground particularly sharply and is also easy to resharpen. You can find out how to sharpen your DAU BEP yourself in our guide “Knife Sharpening”. Although carbon steel offers exceptional sharpness, it is not rustproof and therefore requires a little more attention. However, proper care will prevent rust stains on your chef's knife: •Rinse your DAU BEP with water and, if necessary, with a mild detergent after each use. It is important that you dry it thoroughly afterwards and remove any moisture.
 • Since carbon steel is not rustproof, the knives do not belong in the dishwasher. The humid environment over a longer period of time promotes rust formation. •ÖOil your knife regularly to protect the surface – our special knife oil is ideal for this.
