The Sultan 6" Damascus kitchen knife is a versatile intermediary between large Chef's knives and smaller paring knives. It features an ergonomic handle suited for a variety of grip as well as a full-tang blade. The 67-layer Damascus is backed by a highly durable 440C steel core. Its metallic composition creates a long-lasting durable and incredibly sharp blade. The Sultan is perfectly balanced - its weight combined with our straight-cut edge creates a very pleasurable cutting experience.
440C steel is a proven and widely-used steel in custom knife-making and has only recently evolved into kitchen cutlery applications. Our Laminated Damascus Sultan knife series utilizes 440C at the core of the blade. We add 33 layers of nickel stainless steel per side to protect the core and improve the knife’s stainless properties. Because the nickel steel is softer, it helps the blade glide through food. This technique, called “Laminate Damascus”, is used to pay homage to Japan’s Damascus knife-making heritage within a modern kitchen knife application.
