What is a chef's knife?

A chef's knife is the most essential and versatile knife in the kitchen, built to handle the bulk of the everyday prep work in a single blade. With a broad, curved blade, it enables a rocking motion for continuous chopping without lifting the knife off the board.

Each blade is crafted from premium VG-10 Damascus Steel, prized for its distinctive layered pattern, exceptional edge retention and resistance to corrosion. A precision 15-degree cutting angle gives each cook’s knife an ultra-sharp, razor fine edge for effortless cutting through meat, vegetables, herbs and more. Paired with an ergonomic handle, these Japanese-style kitchen knives are built for comfort and control during extended use.

The included saya (blade sheath) protects the edge between uses and makes for beautiful gifting and safe storage. Bring speed, precision and control to every task in your kitchen with a Katana Saya Chef Knife, the perfect starter knife.

Get the most out of your knives

Damascus steel is prized for its strength and beauty, but a little care goes a long way in preserving its edge and finish. Follow these simple guidelines to keep your Katana Saya knife performing - and looking- its best for years to come.

Damascus Blade

Handwash immediately after use with warm water and mild soap. Dry thoroughly with a soft cloth before storing. Never soak, leave wet or put in the dishwasher as this can dull the blade and cause spotting.

Cutting Edge

Use a honing rod before use to maintain alignment and sharpen periodically with a whetstone of roller sharpener. Avoid cutting on glass, stone or ceramic surfaces, which can chip or dull the edge.

Premium Handle

Wipe clean with a damp cloth and dry immediately. If your handle is wood, apply food safe mineral oil occasionally and avoid prolonged water exposure.

Safe Storage

Ensure the blade is completely dry before putting away to prevent moisture build up. Store in a safe place our of reach of children using safe storage solutions e.g. knife block, knife case or knife sheath
