A high-carbon core wrapped in 67 layers of genuine Damascus steel - beautiful to look at, and engineered to hold its sharpness far longer than an ordinary blade.

Ergonomic Rosewood Handle

Shaped for a comfortable, secure grip and total control over every cut. Equally suited to right or left hands, it stays confident and steady through the longest prep sessions.

Weighted for Confident Cuts

Balanced blade-to-handle for a responsive feel and less fatigue. The expert weight distribution means the knife holds steady through both firm and delicate ingredients.

Elevate your cooking with the Premium Damascus Santoku Knife. A finely balanced fusion of everyday performance, luxury design, and lasting quality.

FOLDED AND FORGED FOR AN EXCEPTIONAL EDGE.

Damascus steel is forged by folding and welding multiple layers of steel - a centuries-old technique that produces blades of exceptional strength and a razor-sharp edge that lasts.

The distinctive wave pattern isn't just decorative - it is visible proof of the craft in every blade.

Because no two are ever folded the same way, every knife is genuinely unique.

FAQs

Damascus steel is known for its layered construction and distinctive wave-like pattern on the blade.

Our knives use 67-layer Damascus steel, combining strength, edge retention and corrosion resistance. This structure helps the blade stay sharp longer while maintaining durability for everyday kitchen use.

Yes. Our knives are designed to deliver the balance, sharpness and durability expected from high-quality kitchen tools used by both serious home cooks and professional chefs.

No. The Damascus pattern is created through layering different steels during forging, meaning the pattern is part of the blade itself rather than a surface coating.

For regular home cooking, most knives benefit from sharpening every 3–6 months.

You can maintain the edge between sharpenings using our whetstone.

We do not recommend placing your knife in the dishwasher. The heat, moisture, and harsh detergents can damage the wooden handle and may scratch or dull the blade.

Proper storage protects both the blade and your safety.

Recommended storage methods:

Knife block
Magnetic knife strip
Blade guard
Drawer knife organiser

Avoid placing knives loosely in a drawer, as this can dull the blade and increase the risk of injury.

To care for your rosewood knife handle, clean it with a damp cloth and avoid soaking it in water. Always dry the handle thoroughly. Apply food-safe mineral or linseed oil every few months to keep the wood hydrated. Store the knife in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Lastly, avoid drops or impacts to prevent damage to the handle.

The knife handle is designed for comfort and an ergonomic grip, making it well-suited for larger hands. Its size and shape provide excellent control, ensuring a secure and comfortable feel during use.
