About us

We are Marcel and Valerie. We met at a Korean cooking class – by chance, really, but somehow everything just fitted. We stood side by side chopping vegetables and laughed more about our clumsiness than we actually got anything right.

 

At some point we realised: with the right knives, it all suddenly makes sense. Cutting became easier, we got faster and more precise – and it was real fun. Not the “perfect Instagram shot”, but real, good cooking. That was our moment: we realised that tools matter just as much as ingredients.

Today we grow our own vegetables, fruit and herbs, pay attention to quality and sustainability – and that is exactly what we want to bring to your kitchens. Our damascus knives are durable, well thought out and made to last. Buying new knives all the time? Pointless, expensive and bad for the environment.

Damastchef stands for tools that keep their promises, attention to detail, individuality and the joy of cooking. No empty promises, no waffle – just knives that really make a difference.

As a young German start-up, we develop everything ourselves, listen closely to our customers and keep improving. Our goal is clear: we want to become the first choice for everyone looking for high-quality cooking tools – and spark enthusiasm along the way.

If you fancy real cooking with tools that are fun, durable and sustainable, you have come to the right place.
