Forged from high-carbon 420J2 Japanese steel, the Damashiro EMPEROR® collection from Cuisine::pro® offers a remarkable balance of strength, precision, and durability. Each blade, inspired by the traditional aesthetics of Damascus steel, features a tsuchime hammered finish that helps reduce food sticking during cutting.

Complemented by a contoured pakkawood handle offering comfort and stability, these knives represent a reliable choice for passionate cooks throughout Quebec and Canada.
Frequently asked questions before choosing your knife
Why choose a Japanese steel knife?
Renowned for its thinness and ability to maintain a precise edge, Japanese steel allows for clean and controlled cuts. It is particularly appreciated by cooks who seek precision, consistency, and comfort when preparing food.
What does the tsuchime hammered finish actually bring to the table?
Beyond its distinctive aesthetic, the hammered texture creates small air pockets between the blade and the food, which helps reduce sticking and improves the fluidity of movements when cutting.
How to care for a Japanese steel knife?
Wash it by hand with warm water and mild soap, then dry it immediately to preserve the quality of the blade. Avoid the dishwasher and use a wooden or plastic cutting board to maintain the edge longer.
How often should the blade be sharpened?
Thanks to their high-performance steel and traditional sharpening, these knives retain their edge for a long time. Occasional maintenance with a honing steel or periodic sharpening will maintain optimal performance.
Is the pakkawood handle durable?
Yes. Pakkawood is a composite material designed to offer the visual warmth of natural wood while being more stable against humidity and temperature variations. It also provides a secure and comfortable grip.
What is the difference between a Japanese steel knife and a German steel knife?
Japanese steel blades are often associated with increased precision and remarkable cutting finesse, while German steels generally prioritize robustness. The choice depends primarily on your preferences: control and precision, or tolerance and versatility.
Why is this collection sometimes offered at a discount?
Our direct collaboration with the supplier allows us, at certain times of the year, to offer advantageous purchasing conditions. This makes this high-end collection more accessible, without compromising on quality.
