Why use Damascus steel knives in the kitchen?

A kitchen knife must serve the cook's ambitions. 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

Making the blade of a Damascus steel knife is a time-honored art. Cutlery reproduces the forging techniques used to make swords and sabres in the Orient. The exceptional cutting edge of a Damascus steel blade is obtained by heating, bending and assembling multiple layers of metal.

On the one hand, the high carbon content of Damascus steel contributes to the quality of the cutting edge. By assembling the steel in successive layers, any imperfections are erased. Moreover, steel processed in layers acquires superior hardness and strength. On the Rockwell scale, Damascus steel blades have a resistance index of over 60 HRC. Damascus steel knives therefore require less frequent sharpening.

On the other hand, successive tempering and polishing of the steel shape the patterns on the blade. In forging, hammering Damascus steel during assembly can leave marks on the blade. If they are not polished, the dimples formed by the hammering contribute to the unique aesthetics of Damascus steel blades. And they prevent ingredients from sticking to the blade during cutting.

Maison Damas A unique range of Japanese knives in Damascus steel

Maison Damas manufactures top-of-the-range Japanese knives. Our knives are made with respect for the Japanese art of cutlery. We have chosen Damascus steel for its efficiency, strength and aesthetic appeal. Our blades are forged by hand. We assemble 45 to 67 layers of Damascus steel to obtain a hardness of between 60 and 62 HRC. To enhance blade longevity, the Damascus steel layers are assembled around a VG10 stainless steel core.

The cutting edge of our Damascus steel knives is sharpened at 15° on both sides. This compares with 20° to 22° on conventional knives. Whether you're a chef or a hobby cook, you'll enjoy 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). All our knives come in a uniform design.

How to choose the right Damascus steel knives?

Damascus steel knives have become very popular. To choose a knife that meets your requirements for efficiency and sturdiness, consider its manufacturing process. Handcrafted or industrial? Steel is not worked in the same way. And it won't offer the same quality of cutting edge and hardness. Even if the price is higher, you'll be better off assembling layers of Damascus steel in a forge.

For efficient use in the kitchen, also consider the carbon content of Damascus steel. The higher the carbon content, the sharper the cutting edge. Stainless steel protects the blades, but does not offer the same cutting efficiency.

Finally, make sure the knife's grip is firm and comfortable. It should be firm and comfortable. An ergonomic handle enhances your agility and guarantees your safety. A Damascus steel knife should last you many years. Also consider the aesthetics of the handle.
