Description

COPPER – BRASS – STEEL… THE TRICOLOUR SUPERLATIVE

This exceptional damascus blade of the HIIRO utility knife captivates with its fascinating tricolour structure, made from 37 layers of the finest damascus steel. The harmonious combination of red copper, gleaming brass and stainless steel gives the blade an incomparable range of colours – from deep copper red through bright golden yellow to classic steel grey. With an impressive hardness of 62 HRC on the Rockwell scale, this knife offers not only a breathtaking look but also outstanding sharpness and durability. A masterpiece that combines luxury and functionality to perfection.

To preserve the exceptional beauty of the copper-look HIIRO damascus knives for the long term, we recommend following our care guide. It is particularly important to rinse immediately after contact with acidic foods and to wash gently by hand. Avoid leaving the knife wet on the worktop and store it safely – that way it will be a faithful companion in your kitchen for many years.

THE VERSATILE HELPER – YOUR UTILITY KNIFE

Discover the versatility of the HIIRO utility knife – your reliable tool for precise everyday cuts! With its handy blade length and well-balanced weight, it is perfect for cutting vegetables, fruit, meat and herbs. The pointed blade makes delicate tasks effortless, while the slightly curved edge supports an exact cutting line. Whether fine work or tougher tasks – the utility knife impresses with sharpness, control and flexibility.

As with all knives in the HIIRO series, the weight distribution is traditionally Asian: towards the blade. This means the slightly heavier blade glides through food almost by itself. This design supports precise work and fatigue-free cutting – ideal for ambitious home cooks and professionals alike.

HANDLE IN FIGURED SYCAMORE MAPLE

The handle of the HIIRO utility knife is made of carefully selected, figured sycamore maple (Acer pseudoplatanus) – a fine natural material that impresses with its high resilience and timeless beauty. The dense structure of the wood makes the handle particularly robust, dimensionally stable and durable. The individual grain of each handle, with its palette of light beige and golden tones traced with gentle lines, makes every knife a unique work of art.

The wood also feels pleasantly warm and gives a non-slip grip, for maximum comfort even during longer use. Thanks to its low weight, the knife stays balanced and sits perfectly in the hand.

Damascus blade with visible layers

Core steel and damascus

Why are our knives so sharp?

Our knives are made of high-quality damascus steel with a core of VG10 or a comparable premium steel, depending on the model. The core steel provides extreme hardness and excellent edge retention, while the outer damascus steel stabilises the blade and gives it an unmistakable look. The result is a perfect combination of robustness, durability and an exceptionally sharp edge – ideal for precise, effortless work in the kitchen.

The upgrade for your kitchen

A direct comparison shows it: where standard stainless steel reaches its limits, a genuine damascus knife is only getting started. The combination of a hard core steel and flexible outer layers gives our knives a sharpness and edge retention that leave ordinary kitchen knives far behind.

Any questions left?

The most frequently asked questions about our damascus knives. Something missing? Write to us – we reply personally.

Get in touch
Are these really genuine damascus knives?

Yes. Our knives are made of multi-layer damascus steel with a high hardness (depending on the model, e.g. 60–64 HRC) and a genuine layered structure, which ensures lasting sharpness, stability and a beautiful grain. Our quality is checked before dispatch.

Why are your knives not as expensive as some luxury damascus knives?

We rely on optimised manufacturing processes and efficient production chains to keep costs down, without compromising on materials or finish. This lets us offer you excellent value for money. It matters to us that premium quality becomes accessible – not just for a few people with a huge budget.

What about the warranty and returns?
  • We offer a 5-year warranty on all damascus knives ➔ More info.
  • On top of that, there is a 30-day money-back guarantee if you are not satisfied.
How do I care for a damascus knife properly?
  • Always wash your knife by hand (no dishwasher) to avoid corrosion and damage.
  • Dry it straight away.
  • Use care oil regularly (we offer a suitable oil as an accessory).
  • If needed: resharpen it with a suitable whetstone or a sharpening service.

If you follow these recommendations, you will enjoy your knife for a long time.

Does the knife really stay sharp for that long?

Yes, thanks to the high-quality damascus steel and the right heat treatment, our blades hold their edge for a very long time. Many customers tell us they only rarely had to resharpen them — even after intensive use.

On top of that, our warranty covers you in the event of material or manufacturing defects.

Do the knives feel good in the hand?

We use various handle materials (e.g. types of wood, epoxy resin, inlays), carefully shaped handles and an optimal weight distribution to ensure a comfortable grip and good control. Many customers confirm that the knives are well balanced and comfortable.

How long does delivery take and how much does it cost?
  • We ship from Germany with DHL. Delivery within the EU costs €18.90 (Sweden and Finland €23.90) and is free from €150.
  • For items in stock, delivery usually takes 3–7 working days.
  • You will see the exact costs and delivery time for your country at checkout.
What if I am not satisfied?

That is exactly why we have the 30-day money-back guarantee. If you find within 30 days that the knife does not meet your expectations, you can send it back - no ifs or buts.

And our customer service will help you with any questions or problems – we want you to be delighted.

Are spare parts or accessories available?

Yes — we offer accessories such as care oils, whetstones and magnetic knife strips.

For repairs or spare parts: get in touch with us and we will check individually whether we can offer you a spare part or a repair.

Who is a damascus knife for? I am a home cook / beginner — is it worth it for me?

Definitely. A good knife makes preparing food much easier: cleaner cuts, less effort, faster work. Even as a home cook you will notice how much joy good tools bring.

And if you are more experienced — you will appreciate the quality and the difference from “ordinary” knives all the more.
