Our blade in production
Our blade in production
🔥 Our VG-10 steel core is a premium stainless steel manufactured in Fukui, Japan. Its high carbon content (approximately 1% to 1.2%) gives VG-10 exceptional hardness and edge retention.
🔥 Our Damascus steel consists of different types of steel with very special material properties. Both soft and hard types of steel are welded together to create an exceptionally tough and hard material.
🔥 The composite steel is then heated to red hot in a furnace and pressed and forged together inseparably by hammer blows.
🔥 In a further step, 33 layers of forged Damascus steel are inseparably joined with Japanese VG-10 core steel on each side of the blade under heat and hammer blows.
🔥 Careful final polishing with chalk gives the Damascus steel its unforgettable sheen.
🔥 Our Damascus knives are NOT etched, so you can enjoy them for a lifetime with consistent aesthetics.
🔥 A radiantly shimmering surface whose artistic Damascus structure comes to life in relief when the light plays on it.

🧪 Our damask knives are not etched—and for good reason!
Our blades receive a gentle final polish with chalk to ensure consistent quality - for a lifetime.
Acid attacks the steel surfaces when etching damask - constant use causes fading and abrasion.⏳ Why do etched blades lose their contrast and aesthetic appeal?
What happens during etching?
- At least two types of steel with different alloy content, such as nickel and manganese, are used for damask steel.
- During etching, the components of the different alloys are removed at different rates.
- Dark discoloration occurs when manganese is removed.
- Nickel components are more resistant to acid and produce the light, silvery surface.
- Etched knives fade over time and with daily use due to abrasion
- ❌ Where there was enthusiasm at the beginning, disillusionment now sets in
Our knives maintain their consistent quality
- ✨ Our knife blades are given a gentle final polish with chalk
- 🥇 You receive first-class Damascus knife blades whose Damascus structure does NOT fade
- 👩🍳 Lifelong enjoyment with consistent aesthetics
- 💎 A bright, shimmering surface whose artistic Damascus structure comes to life in the play of light
Round vs. octagonal knife handles
Direct comparison in terms of comfort, safety, and control
✅ Round knife handles – the better choice
- 🔪 Ergonomic hand adjustment
Fits naturally in your hand and ensures maximum control. - ✅ High comfort
Gentle curves relieve strain on the hand, even during prolonged use. - 🛡️ Greater security
Rounded transitions and finger protection reduce the risk of slipping. - ✨ Intuitive handling
Fits comfortably and securely in your hand—for complete control.
⚠️ Octagonal knife handles – clear disadvantages
- ⚠️ Increased risk of slipping
Angular shapes offer less grip when wet or under pressure. - ⚠️ Uncomfortable with common gripping techniques
Hard edges cause pressure points, especially with the pinch grip. - ⚠️ Limited flexibility
Not all gripping techniques can be performed comfortably. - ⚠️ Not intuitive
For many users, the form feels unfamiliar and uncertain. - ⚠️ Not suitable for all applications
Angular handles can make it difficult to control the knife when making fine cuts.

🧽 Care
- After each use, simply wash by hand with a mild cleaning solution and dry thoroughly
- Do not use scouring pads or bleach, as these could damage the surface of the knife
- To protect your knife blade optimally, it is advisable to apply fractionated coconut oil after each use
- Olive wood handles should be treated and polished every 2-3 months with linseed oil, walnut oil, or jojoba oil, for example
🩹 Storage
- For safe storage, you should always keep your damask kitchen knives in a block, magnetic strip, or sheath.
- Storing knives in a drawer without blade guards not only poses a safety risk, but can also damage the knives themselves.
- Each knife comes with a blade guard.
