Better as a team

Complete it and save

A big knife, a small one and one for vegetables cover the whole kitchen. Together, at a discount.

The discount is applied automatically in the cart.

Why it cuts like this

What’s inside the blade

67

layers of Damascus steel

Stainless steel folded over a high-carbon core. Every blade has a different pattern.

60–62

HRC hardness

The core holds its edge for weeks; ten strokes on a honing rod a month keep it that way.

15°

per side on the edge

Much finer than a Western knife: it cuts without crushing.

8

faces on the handle

Octagonal, in resin and stabilised wood: it doesn’t turn in your hand.
