The knives of the EXKLUSIV C90 series are the entry into the Nesmuk EXKLUSIV world of hand-forged Damascus steel. The blade of the chef's knife consists of 230 layers and has a hardness of 62 HRC. Like all Nesmuk Damascus knives, they are also manufactured in the company's own forge. Best tool steels with high carbon content and rare metals such as tungsten, create blades with the finest sharpness and a longer service life.
Rare tool steels
for the best cutting performance
Forged
by master hand
Unlike the EXKLUSIV C100 and C150 series, the blades are machine ground.
The handmade Damascus steel is superior in punko cutting ability and sharpness to the knives of the SOUL and JANUS series made of patented niobium steel. Here carbon steels still have an advantage over stainless steels. The 180 mm long blade makes the knife an all-rounder in any kitchen. Carbon content: 0.9%.
Exceptional hardness and sharpness
From fire welding and forging, hardening, tempering and grinding the hollow grind to assembling the handle. The production of a Nesmuk EXKLUSIV knife takes almost four dozen steps. The result is exceptional sharpness.
Corrosion resistant thanks to
Nesmuk Protective Coating
Thanks to the glass-like NPC coating (Nesmuk Protective Coating) developed together with the Fraunhofer Institute for Chemical Technology, the Nesmuk EXKLUSIV blades are protected against corrosion.
The cutting bevel of the blade is not coated. Therefore, you should always clean your Nesmuk EXKLUSIV knife after use. Clean the blade with detergent and under running water, dry well afterwards.
Hollow ground on one side -
our lightest damask knife
Genuine, hand-forged Damascus - and yet unusually light: The hollow grind applied to one side of 230 layers of Damascus creates the unique look and outstanding cutting properties of the hand-forged blade.
Weighing only approx. 130 g, depending on the handle material, the EXKLUSIV C90 chef's knife
is the lightest knife in the collection.
Aesthetic and ergonomic
Ergonomic and solid handles for fatigue-free work: The design of the Nesmuk handle is as aesthetic as it is practical. For the wooden handles, Nesmuk uses only the best, often hand-picked pieces of exquisite quality. With wood as a naturally grown material, each handle is unique due to its individual grain, color shades and inclusions.
Good cooks have respect for
food.
Factory farming. Mass cultivation. Mass production. - Quantity instead of quality. We live in an "abundance and throwaway society" that has forgotten how to properly value what feeds us. This starts with production, continues with processing and ends with consumption.
Good cooks have respect for food. They have the necessary respect and work with the utmost care and dedication. Respect is also reflected in the high craftsmanship, quality and sharpness of Nesmuk knives. Numerous top chefs around the world support Nesmuk's attitude as ambassadors: giving food the respect it deserves.

Care instructions
Hand-forged damask knives usually require extensive care to prevent them from rusting. All Nesmuk EXCLUSIVE knives are finished with the exclusive NPC coating (Nesmuk Protective Coating). NPC is a silicon coating only a few micrometers thick, which is applied using microwave-generated plasmas and permanently preserves the blade. The seeming end of the knife is not coated and can therefore tarnish and, if not cared for, rust. Therefore, do not leave your Nesmuk EXKLUSIV in liquids for too long. Rinse and dry your knife after use.
We recommend regularly sharpening the edge with a suitable, fine sharpener such as the Nesmuk strop. This maintains the sharpness and protects against tarnishing or rusting of the edge. We recommend maintaining the blade from time to time with an acid-free oil, such as our camellia oil.
