20 cm Chef’s Knife Chef's Edition Damasteel WMF

The 20 cm Chef’s Knife Chef's Edition Damasteel WMF is a true work of art. Designed to be your best ally in the kitchen, this hand-forged knife features an exceptional blade made of 120 layers of specialised steels, fused into a single blade. It is balanced, ergonomic, durable, with an extraordinary edge and long-lasting performance – all while ensuring safe, precise cutting. Made in Germany, this knife is crafted for professionals and stands as a testament to quality and innovation.

Elegant and practical, this 20 cm chef’s knife is an essential kitchen tool. It offers perfect balance in hand and is the ideal choice for chopping and slicing vegetables, fruit, fish and meat with precision and ease. The handle, made of Cromargan® 18/10 stainless steel, is ergonomically shaped for a secure and comfortable grip.

The highlight of this impressive knife is its exclusive Damascus steel blade with a beautiful water-pattern finish. This effect is created using high-quality steels of varying hardness levels. Instead of layering and welding, the steels are pulverised, vacuum-compressed under extreme pressure, and hand-forged into a single 120-layer blade. A final acid etching gives every blade its unique and stunning appearance.

Each blade is individually laser measured to determine the optimal sharpening angle and then robotically honed to reach an unparalleled sharpness, ensuring precision cutting and exceptional durability.

All these elements combine to create an extraordinary knife that brings together cutting-edge technology and artisanal expertise. It is presented in an elegant premium box. Each knife is a one-of-a-kind piece, essential for safe, precise, and comfortable cutting.
