Description
EXTRA-LONG FILLETING KNIFE
The filleting knife with an extra-long 18.7 cm blade offers the utmost precision when filleting fish and meat. The flexible, sharp blade makes fine, clean cuts and makes it easier to remove skin and bones. Ideal for preparing fish fillets, cutting up pieces of meat or slicing wafer-thin. Perfect for professional chefs and ambitious home cooks who value precise results.
MODERN 73-LAYER DAMASCUS STEEL
For the damascus knives of the ORIBU series, we use an innovative powder damascus steel. It is produced in a directed powder injection process with tiny, evenly distributed carbide particles and no segregation. The high carbon content (1.32%–1.42%) and vanadium content (2.9%–3.1%) provide high hardness, and the addition of the rare metal niobium considerably improves the steel's resistance to rust and wear. After vacuum and cryogenic heat treatment, the steel's hardness is stabilised at 62 HRC (Rockwell).
Standard filleting knives have an average hardness of 50–55 HRC, so they blunt relatively quickly... And let's be honest, there's nothing worse than a blunt filleting knife.
UNIQUE DESIGN MEETS SUSTAINABLE OLIVE WOOD
Sustainability plays a central role, especially when it comes to wood. Olive wood is particularly environmentally friendly, as it is usually only harvested once the tree no longer produces olives. Although olive trees grow slowly, they are extremely robust and harder than many other woods. With the right care, such as applying a special wood oil, you can make sure the material lasts a lifetime.
It isn't just the sustainable olive wood that makes our filleting knife stand out, but also its striking and innovative design. Thanks to its ergonomic shape, the knife sits perfectly in the hand and offers excellent comfort and a secure grip.

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.
Our promise
30-day money-back guarantee
Because we stand 100% behind the quality of our products. Test your knife in your own kitchen – if it isn't right for you, you get your money back.

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