Damascus Knives, Beautifully Made for the Modern Kitchen

Rooted in centuries of Japanese blade smithing, our Damascus kitchen knives combine the folded, layered steel techniques prized by master swordsmiths combined with beautifully designed handles inspired by the natural world.

Each collection brings its own character to the Damascus kitchen knives. The blades are all forged from high-carbon steel producing the signature wavy pattern in three finishes: our classic Damascus, the deep black Damascus of the Smoke collection and the vivid copper hues of the Rainbow Damascus in the Flame collection.

These striking blades are paired with handles chosen to complement the Damascus pattern. Our classic Olive Wood and Pakkawood collections bring warm, natural materials built for every day use while the Elements and Smoke collections offer a sleeker, more contemporary finish. For a bolder look, Flame Olive Wood and Flame Rosewood showcase warm, natural wood octagonal handles to complement the fire-toned blades. The Pearl collection offers a luminous, refined finish for cooks who want their kitchen knives to look as good as they perform.
