Damascus Steak Knives

A plain, non-serrated edge cuts cleanly instead of tearing, and you can sharpen it on a stone; a serrated edge lasts longer between sharpenings but shreds the meat a little. All of our steak knives have plain edges, sharpened by hand.

A pattern-welded Damascus blade costs more than a forged carbon steel one of the same size because of the extra forging work, not because it cuts noticeably better at the table. Choose it for the pattern and the handmade process, and choose carbon steel to spend less.

Our Damascus steak knife sets run from $139 to $199. A Damascus set costs more than a carbon steel set with the same number of knives, because pattern-welded steel takes more forging; both cut the same at the table.

A real forged pattern runs through the blade from spine to edge and varies slightly from knife to knife, since each is hand-forged rather than printed. A perfectly repeating surface pattern on a plain steel blade is a sign of a fake.

Every steak knife in the collection carries a 4.25 inch blade and a 9.5 inch overall length, sized for a place setting rather than heavier kitchen prep.

A set ships in one leather knife roll with a slot for each knife. Every order includes free US shipping, 30-day returns on anything without engraving, and a Limited Lifetime Warranty.
