Moiré patterns run across the blade of Damascus steel knives . A unique appearance. These impressions are evidence of the forging work of Damascus steel. The blades of Damascus steel knives are beautiful, but are also very effective. Their exceptional sharpness comes from the qualities of Damascus steel. This is why Maison Damas makes its Japanese kitchen knives with this steel. A range of elegant and high-performance knives for the greatest satisfaction of the chef or cooking enthusiast.
Why use Damascus steel knives in the kitchen?
A kitchen knife must serve the ambitions of the cook. The shape and length of the blade facilitate its use or specialization. And the quality of its cutting edge guarantees its efficiency and fulfills all your wishes in the kitchen. This is the very vocation of Damascus steel knives .
Damascus steel knives: an exceptional blade
The manufacture of the blade of a Damascus steel knife comes from ancestral know-how. Cutlery reproduces the techniques used in forging to make swords and sabers in the Orient. The exceptional sharpness of a Damascus steel blade is obtained by heating, folding and assembling multiple layers of the metal.
On the one hand, the high carbon content of Damascus steel contributes to the quality of the cutting edge. The assembly in successive layers makes it possible to erase any imperfections in the steel. In addition, steel worked in layers acquires a higher hardness and strength. On the Rockwell scale, Damascus steel blades have a resistance index greater than 60 HRC. Damascus steel knives therefore benefit from a less frequent sharpening.
And on the other hand, the successive tempering and polishing of the steel shape the patterns present on the blade. In forging, the hammering carried out on Damascus steel during its assembly can leave marks on the blade. If they are not polished, the alveoli formed by the hammer contribute to the unique aesthetics of Damascus steel blades. And they prevent the ingredients from sticking to the blade during cutting.
Maison Damas: a unique range of Japanese knives in Damascus steel
Maison Damas manufactures high-end Japanese knives. The manufacture of our knives is in keeping with the Japanese art of cutlery. We have chosen Damascus steel for its efficiency, strength and aesthetics. Our blades are hand-forged. We assemble 45 to 67 layers of Damascus steel to obtain a hardness of between 60 and 62 HRC. To enhance the longevity of the blades, the layers of Damascus steel are assembled around a VG10 stainless steel core.
The edge of the blade of our Damascus steel knives benefits from a 15° sharpening on both sides. Compared to 20 to 22° on conventional knives. Chef or cooking enthusiast, you then benefit from an exceptional cutting quality: meat, fish or vegetables are cut quickly and effortlessly.
We are committed to Japanese aesthetics. Our range of Damascus steel knives combines functionality and refinement. Each blade features the characteristic patterns of Damascus steel and can be hammered depending on the model. The handles of our knives are made from noble materials (olive wood, natural stone, mother-of-pearl or metal). A homogeneous design unites the knives within the same collection.
How to choose your Damascus steel knives?
Damascus steel knives have become very popular. To choose a knife that meets your wishes for efficiency and solidity, take into account its manufacturing process. Artisanal or industrial? The steel will not be worked in the same way. And will not offer the same quality of sharpness and hardness. Even if the price is higher, prefer the assembly of the layers of Damascus steel in forge.
For efficient use in the kitchen, also consider the carbon content of Damascus steel. The higher it is, the more remarkable the sharpness will be. Stainless steel protects the blades, but does not offer the same cutting efficiency.
Finally, make sure the knife has a firm and comfortable grip. An ergonomic handle increases your agility and guarantees your safety. A Damascus steel knife should accompany you for many years. Also take into account the aesthetics of the handle.
