Genuine Damascus Steel

DAMASCUS STEEL: ATTRACTIVE LOOK, HIGH HARDNESS AND SUFFICIENT FLEXIBILITY.

The manufacturing process is defined by complex individual steps, and the way the steel is processed makes an essential contribution to quality. The art lies in achieving hardness and flexibility at the same time. A sharp blade can be achieved by working with hard steel. However, hard steel is quite brittle and can break more easily. It therefore makes sense to work a blade from soft steel and sharpen it. But since soft steel does not get as sharp, the hardness of the steel has to be adjusted. That is why we combine different degrees of hardness and join a total of 67 layers of hard and soft steel to craft our high-quality chef's knives.

VISIBLE CRAFTSMANSHIP: THE DAMASCUS PATTERN AS A FINGERPRINT

The manufacturing process of our NYORD Damascus knives is defined by artisanal precision and centuries-old forging know-how. The steel is processed in several complex steps, with the aim of combining hardness and flexibility in the ideal way. An especially sharp blade is achieved with hard steel – but hard steel is brittle and prone to breaking. Soft steel, on the other hand, is more flexible but cannot be ground as sharp. The solution lies in combining both properties: our blades consist of 67 layers of alternating hard and soft steel, forged together under high pressure. The result is an extremely sharp, resilient and durable chef's knife with outstanding cutting properties.

What makes Damascus knives so special is not only their performance but also their look. The repeated folding and forging of the steel creates a characteristic wave pattern that is unique to every knife. No two blades are alike. The grain is, in a sense, the fingerprint of the forging process. A visible sign of genuine handcraft and quality put into practice. Every NYORD Damascus knife is one of a kind, and its individual pattern makes it convincing both functionally and aesthetically. This turns every knife into a special piece with a personal character – for a kitchen where precision, design and durability matter.

Questions and answers

Still have questions?

What are the blades made of?

67 layers of Damascus steel with around 60 HRC. This makes the blade resilient and gives it its characteristic grain.

Do I need to sharpen the knives?

Yes, like any high-quality kitchen knife, a Damascus knife loses its sharpness over time. We recommend regular honing with a honing steel or occasional sharpening on a suitable whetstone.

Can the knives go in the dishwasher?

Please don't. Wash them by hand and dry them straight away; in the long run, the dishwasher can damage the Damascus steel and the handle.

What's the best way to store the knives?

In a knife block, on a magnetic strip or in a knife sheath. Loose in a drawer, the blades rub against each other and go blunt faster. Our magnetic knife block is a perfect fit for this.

How does the 30-day money-back guarantee work?

You can take 30 days to test everything at your leisure. If you are not satisfied, send the product back and you will get a full refund of the purchase price. More about returns
