Damasteel Kitchen Knives by WMF

The Damasteel Kitchen Knives by WMF are as elegant as they are essential. Indispensable in the kitchen, these hand-forged knives speak volumes at first glance. Their exceptional blade made of 120 layers of special steels fused into a single piece gives them a unique appearance and unmatched hardness. They are balanced, ergonomic, durable, with an extraordinary edge and a longevity matched only by the cutting safety they provide. Made in Germany, they embody WMF’s excellence.

Elegant and practical, these knives are perfectly balanced. They feature an ergonomic handle made from Cromargan® 18/10 stainless steel, providing a comfortable grip and safe handling for precise and highly efficient cutting.

What stands out most in these impressive knives is their exclusive Damascus steel blade with its elegant water-pattern finish. This effect is achieved by using high-quality steels of different hardness levels. Instead of welding layers, the steels are pulverised and fused under vacuum using extreme pressure to form a 120-layer hand-forged blade. An acid etching is then applied, making each knife truly unique and exceptional.

The blades are individually measured by laser to determine the optimal sharpening angle for each one, then sharpened by robot to achieve an unparalleled edge that ensures precise cutting and exceptional durability.

All these details make them exceptional knives, combining state-of-the-art technology with masterful craftsmanship. They also come in an elegant box. Each knife is a unique piece, a must-have for cutting with efficiency, precision, and the utmost safety and comfort.
