Cuisine::pro's Damashiro knives feature stunning Damascus-style patterned blades suggestive of flowing water and handles inspired by Japanese samurai swords. Made of ice-hardened Japanese steel, the blades are tough, shatter-resistant and honed by traditional methods to a fine, razor-sharp, edge. With its perfectly balanced hollow handle, the chef's knife is ideal for slicing meats as well as chopping, dicing and mincing.
