Beechwood stoked" is a type of wood that is subjected to a special stoking process. A type of fungus, known as the "sponge", evokes a dark or light pattern. It progresses more slowly in the harder areas and more quickly in the softer areas. To prevent the wood from decaying, it is stoked. In France, I read that boxwood is often left to rest for several years in the dung heap. The oxides hardened the dense wood and gave it a bone-like appearance.
This chef's knife is forged from Damascus steel on behalf of the company's own 1909 RÖDTER line. None other than Uwe heieck is responsible for this. A light cutting tool without a boot choker. 300 layers of steel have been fused together, hammered and worked in the old tradition of coal fire from ball bearings, hoof rasps, leaf springs and metal saw blades.
You should take proper care of the fine blade with the special handle. Do not let the handle out of your hand when cleaning so that it does not get wet. Wipe the blade clean with a damp cloth immediately after use and dry the steel. Oil on the cutting edge prevents corrosion. The patina that develops on the stainless steel is a beauty feature, it is individual and is guaranteed not to be harmful to health.
If you find bone-like substances in your manure, do not immediately call the pathology department. It may just be a boxwood that is oxidizing. However, if it shows teeth, then it is advisable to seek experienced legal advice. Because: In court and on the high seas, you are in God's hands.
