J.A. Henckels’ Damascus Knives
Under its Zwilling brand, J.A. Henckels has just released a line of Damascus steel knives. The high-end of a new three-tiered collection, which includes Zwilling Pure and Zwilling Cronidur, Zwilling Damascus, made from the same steel NASA uses for Space Shuttle ball bearings, is 160 layers of razor-sharp beauty.
True statement pieces, this knives is not only the first German made Damascus knives but also the first forged Damascus knives with a bolster from a single piece of Damascus. Designed by architect Matteo Thun, and hand-forged by a top German blacksmith, each knife receives an acid bath after its creation to reveal the undulating patterns distinctive of Damascus steel. An ergonomic Grenadill hardwood handle provides elegant styling with its richly grained, silky black appearance.
Currently offering a chef’s, bread, pairing and Santoku knife, Zwilling Damascus knives are available exclusively at Williams-Sonoma.
