Introducing the Award-Winning Damasteel Chef Knife.
This is my latest design in culinary knives: a 405mm (10.5”) blade high-performance chef knife crafted from Damasteel. This collection was designed using the Bauhaus principle of function over form, ensuring that every element fits beautifully into place. My goal was to create a clean, high-performance professional chef knife that any chef would be proud to have in their collection.This knife has won the prestigious award for Best International Chef Knife, a testament to its superior design and exceptional performance.
In developing this knife, I consulted with professional chef John Whelan from The Devil's Menu, a true artist in cuisine. The design was meticulously crafted to meet the unique characteristics required for a chef's knife.
