Thanks to its compact blade, it offers maximum control and flexibility with every cut.
DAMASCUS STEEL – HARDNESS AND SHARPNESS AT THE HIGHEST LEVEL
The blade of this small santoku knife consists of 67 layers of damascus steel surrounding a high-strength steel core of 60 HRC Rockwell. This combination provides impressive sharpness, edge retention and durability. Elaborate vacuum heat treatment makes the blade particularly robust and resistant to corrosion – a real advantage over ordinary damascus knives. The striking damascus pattern gives the knife an exclusive, individual look and makes it a real eye-catcher in your kitchen.

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.

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.

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.
