Messerhai - San Mai Damascus - Kitchen knife - professional Damascus knife set - San Mai AUS10 Damascus steel - Japan

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

The authentic San Mai (3-layer) technique: While traditional knives are often made from a single piece of steel, this Sashimi series is constructed 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 ultra-sharp and long-lasting cutting power. 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 manner. This authentic technique is called Tsuchime. This not only creates 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.

The knives in the Sashimi series are designed for maximum performance in both the kitchen and at the grill. The ultra-sharp blades maintain their cutting power for a long time and make every cut effortless. The ergonomic handles made of Mkuruti wood offer a comfortable, stable grip and add a luxurious look. Each knife is perfectly balanced, providing optimal control and precision with every slice.
