Inspired by traditional Japanese craftsmen and samurai sword makers, Cuisine::pro Damashiro Emperor knives feature stunning Damascus-style patterned blades suggestive of flowing water. The knives are made of ice-hardened Japanese steel, making them tough, shatter-resistant and able to hold a razor-sharp, resilient edge.
