Discover our collection of Japanese knives in 67-layer Damascus steel: Japanese chef's knife, Santoku knife, Nakiri knife, boning knife, paring knife and Japanese knife sets. Whether you're looking for a versatile everyday blade or a specialised knife, you'll find lasting sharpness and unmatched balance to elevate every cut.
● 67-layer Damascus steel: an edge that lasts
Our Japanese Damascus steel knives are forged by successively folding the steel: a blade both hard and resilient, which keeps its edge far longer than an ordinary knife.
Each blade displays the distinctive wavy Damascus pattern, unique to every piece, inherited from the craftsmanship of Japanese smiths.
Popular knives: Japanese chef's knife (Gyuto), Santoku knife, Nakiri vegetable knife, boning knife, paring knife, bread knife and Japanese knife sets.
● Which Japanese knife should you choose?
The Santoku knife is the most versatile (vegetables, meat, fish), while the Japanese chef's knife, or Gyuto, excels on large cuts and fast slicing.
The wide-bladed Nakiri knife is dedicated to vegetables, the boning knife lifts fillets, the paring knife handles precision work and the bread knife slices without crushing the crumb.
● Care and durability
Hand washing and immediate drying are enough to preserve the edge and shine of the Damascus steel for years. Avoid the dishwasher, which is harsh on the steel.
Store your Japanese knives away from impacts and revive the edge from time to time on a Japanese whetstone for a clean, lasting cut.
FAQ – Japanese Knives
What is 67-layer Damascus steel?
Damascus steel is made by folding and welding several layers of steel, 67 in total here. This process produces a hard, resilient blade with a lasting edge, recognisable by its wavy pattern unique to each Japanese knife.
Which Japanese knife should I choose to start?
The Santoku knife is the ideal choice to start: versatile, it handles vegetables, meat and fish. To equip yourself fully, a Japanese knife set brings together the essential blades at a great value.
Are Japanese knives dishwasher safe?
Best avoided. The heat and harsh detergents damage the Damascus steel and dull the edge. A simple hand wash followed by immediate drying keeps your knives like new for years.
