Damascus steel has a long history that dates back centuries. Find out about its history and the knives Seido Knives offers.
DAMASCUS KNIVES
We have a wide range of steel knives that include VG-10 Steel Knives. You'll find sets and individual knives that make you feel like a master chef at home.
WHAT ARE DAMASCUS KNIVES?
A Damascus knife is crafted by combining two or more types of steel, each selected for specific properties such as hardness, flexibility, and carbon content. These steels are forge-welded together to form alternating layers, which are then repeatedly folded to increase the layer count and refine the grain structure. This process results in a visually distinct pattern and a durable and strong blade, with the carbon content contributing to its hardness and edge retention.
ARE DAMASCUS KNIVES WORTH IT?
Absolutely! While they may be pricier than other steel knives, their longevity and performance make them a worthwhile investment.
On top of single knives, you'll find sets of Japanese Chef Knives that can handle every type of job in your kitchen.
CARING FOR YOUR DAMASCUS STEEL KNIVES
Protect your investment with a look at how to care for your new knives, including sharpening tips, cleaning, and how to store them.
SHARPENING
A honing steel helps you keep a Damascus knife sharp. Keep the knife at a 15-degree angle to the honing steel as you slide the blade across it. You can also use a whetstone, which should be soaked in water first. Use the same angle and motion to give the blade a sharp edge.
CLEANING AND HOW TO STORE
Every time you use a Damascus knife, clean the blade and wipe it with a dry cloth to remove any debris or stuck-on food. Simple dish soap will remove debris without damaging the blade. We warn shoppers against putting Master Chef Knives and other Damascus steel knives in the dishwasher. While a knife roll is a smart way to store knives you use away from home, a knife block works very well at home. It keeps the blades away from moisture and anything else that might damage them.
