Blades made of Damascus steel - robust and durable

Whether chef's knife, Santoku knife, preparation knife or steak knife - with a blade made of Damascus steel, all variants become particularly durable and exclusive knives. A Damascus knife can be recognized by its distinctive blade pattern, which is created in the manufacturing process by folding the Damascus steel several times. The blade is usually rather wide, flexible and very stable for easy handling. The shape of the blade varies depending on the knife variant.

Sirius knives are not only technically convincing, but they are also visually a real highlight in your kitchen. The handles are made of easy-care and robust maple wood.

With its 16 cm long, very wide blade, the Sirius kitchen knife is ideal for everyday kitchen tasks. You can use it to cut sausage and cheese, fruit and vegetables or chop herbs, onions and garlic. It can even be used to cut fish and meat into bite-sized portions. The blade is also suitable for cleaning and filleting. As a true all-round knife, it also serves as an alternative to a paring knife.

The Sirius chef's knife with a 20 cm long blade tapered to a point at the front is also an all-purpose Damascus knife that you can use for a variety of tasks in the kitchen. You can use it to effortlessly cut meat, vegetables or fish, but chop and weigh onions, garlic and herbs just as well.
