Shiori – a shop selling professional Damascus steel knives

The Shiori brand

Genuine Damascus steel, known for thousands of years, originates from India. Modern Damascus steel is now called layered steel. For centuries, the Japanese have been the best at producing it. Japanese swords consisted of several million layers of steel. In the Middle Ages, famous samurai swords could cut through several bodies.

After 1945, the Japanese switched to the knife industry. They used their centuries of experience in this field to create professional knives. These knives are made using a technology that combines multiple layers, which are the result of alternating soft and hard steel forging. The steel obtained in this way is characterised by strength and flexibility. Ordinary steel breaks quickly when bent. An additional advantage is its exceptional sharpness, which ensures precise cuts in kitchen work, guaranteeing complete professionalism.

These are not all the advantages; there is also the visual aspect. An interesting pattern on the blade and a beautifully finished wooden handle. Such a knife will certainly embellish any kitchen and satisfy even the most demanding customer.
