SOK cocobolo white damask
The blade of the SOK Cocobolo White Damascus series is a true masterpiece of precision craftsmanship and traditional Japanese craftsmanship. It is made of Damascus steel with a core of 10Cr15CoMoV steel (VG-10 equivalent) with a hardness of 61 ± 1 HRC, which ensures exceptional sharpness, strength and long blade life. The core is sandwiched between 72 layers of two stainless steels of different hardnesses (damascus steel) which together provide the perfect balance between strength, toughness and flexibility.
The surface of the blade reveals the fascinating structure of the individual layers, which create a shimmering, unique and unrepeatable damascus pattern. White damascus steel or white pattern-welded steel is characterised by its contrasting light and dark layers of steel that form unique and intricate patterns. These patterns can vary greatly, from simple lines to intricate mosaic designs. These contrasting characteristics contribute to the creation of visible layers. This subtle, wavy motif not only impresses with its appearance, but also minimizes friction when slicing and prevents food from sticking to the blade, allowing for a smooth, precise and comfortable cut. Each blade thus has its own unmistakable character - no two are exactly the same.
Unlike conventional damascus blades, which undergo chemical etching to enhance the pattern , SOK Cocobolo White Damascus blades are treated with a modern sandblasting method . In this process, the surface of the blade is exposed to a gentle stream of abrasive particles that remove the softer layers of steel, naturally revealing the structure of the damascus. The result is a fine matt, silky, glossy surface with high resistance to corrosion and mechanical damage without the need for chemicals.
As with the SOK Olive Sunshine Damascus series, precision vacuum heat hardening is applied to increase the strength, stability and durability of the steel. This method, together with hand sharpening, gives Dellinger knives exceptional sharpness, precision and durability.
The contrasting layers of damascus steel create an impressive light-dark effect that enhances the elegance of each blade. This visual motif of "white damascus steel " symbolises purity, precision and harmony - values on which the Dellinger brand is built.
Dellinger combines traditional craftsmanship with state-of-the-art technology. Perfect craftsmanship and hand processes result in a knife that is not just a kitchen tool, but an exceptional piece of craftsmanship - elegant, precise and made for those who appreciate perfection in every cut in the kitchen .

The handles of the SOK Cocobolo White Damascus series knives are made from the exotic Cocobolo wood, one of the rarest and most desirable tropical woods in the world. This noble wood comes from Central America - especially Mexico, Panama, Costa Rica and Nicaragua - and is renowned for its stunning grain, rich colours and silky sheen that make each knife a unique original.
Cocobolo is an extremely hard, dense and extremely durable wood with a high content of natural oils that give it excellent resistance to moisture, water and temperature changes. As a result, the handle retains its shape, stability and natural shine for many years.
In addition, the Cocobolo wood used is stabilized to resist moisture, temperature fluctuations and warping. This process ensures that the wood does not change shape, does not crack and does not create any unpleasant transitions between metal and wood. The result is a smooth, pleasant finish and the long-term aesthetic and functional stability of the handle, which still looks as luxurious years later as the day you first picked up the knife.
The handles have a hexagonal shape, typical of high-end Japanese knives. This design not only highlights the elegance and exceptional craftsmanship, but also provides a firmer and more natural grip. The shape makes it easier to handle, more secure to work with and allows for more precise blade guidance.
The specially designed guard is adapted to the Asian style of grip, giving the user even better control and feel when slicing. This detail will be appreciated by all those who value absolute precision, smoothness and comfort when working.
Cocobolo wood is sought after by knife makers, artists and collectors around the world for its beauty and durability. Each handle is an original combination of strength, elegance and the soul of Dellinger - a true natural beauty that never ages.
