Messerhai - Sashimi - Kitchen knife - Professional San Mai Damascus knife set - San Mai AUS10 Damascus steel - Japan

The Messerhai Sashimi professional San Mai Damascus knife set is the perfect combination of Japanese tradition, modern technology, and refined elegance. This luxurious 5-piece knife set is handmade from high-quality AUS10 Damascus steel and offers unparalleled sharpness, precision, and durability.

The authentic San Mai (three-layer) technique: While traditional knives are often made from a single piece of steel, this Sashimi series is built according to the Japanese San Mai technique. This means the knife consists of three forged layers. The core is made of extremely hard AUS10 steel (60±2 HRC) for an exceptionally sharp and long-lasting cutting edge. This hard core is protected on both sides by a softer layer of stainless steel. This gives the knife the perfect balance between extreme sharpness and flexible resilience.

Each knife is hand-hammered in the Japanese style. This authentic technique is called Tsuchime. It not only provides a beautiful, robust appearance, but also prevents food from sticking to the blade. Thus the knife glides effortlessly through fish, meat, and vegetables without ingredients sticking to it.

The knives in the Sashimi series are designed for maximum performance both in the kitchen and at the grill. The razor-sharp blades retain their cutting power for a long time, making every slicing motion effortless. The ergonomic handles made of noble Mkuruti wood offer a comfortable, stable grip and add a luxurious appearance. Each knife is perfectly balanced, ensuring optimal control and precision with every cut.
