blade

73 layers of hammered Damascus steel with a high-alloy powder steel core (14Cr14MoVNb) and 72 layers of rust-resistant SUS 410 stainless steel.

The vacuum and cryogenic heat treatment creates an extremely fine microstructure with the highest hardness. With a Rockwell hardness of 62–64 HRC, the blade is among the most durable and cutting-edge blades in its class. The niobium content in the core gives the blade extreme sharpness and maximum wear resistance.

The Japanese V-grind with 15° per side guarantees uncompromising precision. Exception: The bread knife uses a single-sided 30° serrated edge.

The characteristic hammering gives the Damascus knife a special character and underlines its handcrafted aesthetic.

Half bolster and full tang ensure balanced weight distribution, increased stability and maximum durability during intensive use.

Handle

The ergonomically shaped handle made of dark, noble rosewood lies comfortably and securely in the hand – even during prolonged use.

Each handle is finely polished several times to achieve a particularly smooth, supple surface that not only looks high-quality but also provides a pleasant grip.

Suitable for left- and right-handed users.

How do you recognize a real Damascus knife?
+

You can recognize this type of knife by its characteristic blade pattern and its multi-layered steel construction. High blade hardness, exceptional edge retention, and precise craftsmanship are also typical features. However, there are also cheaper knives on the market with a so-called laser Damascus pattern, a purely optical effect. The typical pattern is merely etched or lasered onto the surface of the blade, without any actual layering. Such knives look similar, but offer neither the material quality nor the edge retention of genuine Damascus knives. At MISAKI, you will, of course, not receive knives with a laser Damascus pattern, but only genuine ones.Damascus knife.
