The Heart of Your Kitchen

Every artist has their signature instrument. For the ambitious home chef, that instrument is the Damara 'Kensei'. This 8.6-inch Gyuto-style chef knife is not merely a tool; it is an extension of your hand, a workhorse designed to command any culinary task with authority and grace. From the finest dice to the most powerful chop, the 'Kensei' moves with a balance and purpose that transforms preparation into performance.

Key Benefits:

  • The Workhorse Blade: 67-Layer Damascus Steel
    Forged from 67 layers of steel around a high-performance AUS-10 core, the 'Kensei' blade is built for endurance and beauty. The flowing Damascus pattern is a testament to its strength, ready to tackle any ingredient you place before it.
  • Unyielding Sharpness: AUS-10 Steel Core
    Hardened to a formidable 60-62 HRC, the Japanese AUS-10 steel core provides an exceptionally tough and durable edge. It resists chipping and retains its scalpel-like sharpness, ensuring consistent, effortless performance day after day.
  • Engineered for Control: Ergonomic Handle
    The handle, a beautiful fusion of solidified wood and resilient resin, is shaped for comfort and control during long sessions. Secured with a mosaic rivet, it provides a confident, non-slip grip, making the knife feel like a natural part of you.
  • The 12° Edge: A Cut Above
    Finished with a razor-sharp 12° angle on each side, the 'Kensei' glides through food with minimal resistance. This acute edge preserves the integrity of delicate ingredients and makes every cut clean, precise, and deeply satisfying.
