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 often should a paring knife be sharpened?
+

A Damascus steel paring knife stays sharp for a long time due to its material structure, but micro-nicks and fine burrs still develop in everyday use. To maintain cutting performance and the fine appearance, a graduated sharpening strategy based on the degree of wear is recommended, withDiamond grinding rod,wet grinding stoneandstrop.

In everyday life: Use a diamond rod before or after use to even out slight dullness.

Every few months (depending on frequency of use): Perform the grinding process with a wet whetstone to redefine the edge.
After each sharpening: Finally, work the knife over the strop to remove burrs and achieve a razor-sharp finish.
