The selection criteria for your future knife set Japanese knife

To choose your knife set Japanese knife well, take into account the quality of the blade, the consistency of the set, and the elegance of the knives.

Steel blade quality for optimal kitchen performance

The blade of a Japanese knife is made from carbon steel or stainless steel. Carbon steel contributes to the blade’s hardness and the quality of the edge. The higher the carbon content, the more effective and durable the blade will be. Damascus steel blades can therefore achieve a HRC rating above 60. An advantage for a chef: there is no need to sharpen the edge between each preparation

Stainless steel protects the blade of the Japanese knife from oxidation and corrosion. But the quality of its edge is different. Maison Damas manufactures Japanese knife blades that feature a stainless steel core within layers of carbon steel. The choice of uncompromising excellence: hardness, efficiency, and durability.

  • Vegetable knives: the Nakiri, chef knife, or paring knife.
