Damasc Kitchen Knife – Handcrafted Precision from Austria

The Damasc kitchen knife is a versatile all-rounder, ideal for slicing fish, meat, and vegetables.

Its blade is crafted from high-quality Damascus steel, known for its razor-sharp edge and long-lasting performance.
The premium wood handle sits comfortably in the hand and offers excellent balance and control.

Available with a 180 mm or 210 mm blade, the knife features a hardness of 60–62 HRC, striking the perfect balance between sharpness and durability. Despite its strength, the knife remains lightweight and easy to handle.

Each knife is hand-forged in Austria by an experienced bladesmith. Since every step of the production remains in the craftsman's hands, outstanding quality is ensured.

With its distinctive forged finish, visible hammer marks, and unique wooden handle scales made from either native or exotic woods, this knife is a true work of art – unlike any other.

Multi-column

Carbon-Stahl

Mit einer Stärke von ca. 2,5 mm und einer Härte von 60-62 HRC ist das Messer äußerst robust und zuverlässig.

Durch den Einsatz dieses Stahls bleibt das Messer sehr lange sehr scharf, allerdings ist es dadurch nicht rostfrei und Bedarf der richtigen Pflege.

Handgeschmiedet

Die Messer werden in Österreich handgeschmiedet.

Da während des gesamten Herstellungsprozesses das Messer in der Hand des Meisters ist, fallen etwaige Mängel sofort auf. Die vielen Handgriffe sind gleichzeitig eine Qualitätskontrolle und garantieren ein perfektes Ergebnis.

Hinter den Kulissen

Our hand-forged chef's knives originate from the workshop of talented bladesmith Michael Ziegelböck, based in Haag am Hausruck, Upper Austria. Since 2009, he has dedicated himself with passion and devotion to the creation of premium cutlery. His production techniques and materials are of the highest caliber—a quality that is reflected in every single one of his products.

In the crafting of each knife, countless steps—from the initial planning of the blade to the finishing of the leather sheath—are performed by hand. Michael Ziegelböck is an artisan with an exceptional commitment to every detail. His knives are not merely functional; they are works of art that serve as a centerpiece in any kitchen.

In his own forge, which he has optimized to the highest degree, he primarily creates bespoke commissions and one-of-a-kind pieces for his clients. Here, he fully utilizes his diverse spectrum of materials, ranging from steel and wood to leather. Every knife is unique, crafted by Michael Ziegelböck with a profound love for detail and masterful craftsmanship.
