The Cuisine::pro Damashiro EMPEROR collection is forged from premium 420J2 Japanese steel with a high carbon content, delivering lasting sharpness, strength, and performance. Each Damascus-inspired blade features a hammered tsuchime finish and is ice-hardened and leather-sharpened using time-honored techniques for superior precision. Finished with a contoured walnut pakkawood handle, these knives bring refined beauty and balance to any modern kitchen.

Smaller and more nimble than the full-size chef's knife, the Cuisine::pro Damashiro EMPEROR 6" mini chef's knife features a short, sharp blade ideal for tasks requiring precision. Often called a "cook's knife", the chef's knife is the most versatile tool in the kitchen, perfect for everything from slicing roasts to dicing vegetables. Its wide blade and curved edge allow a smooth rocking motion, making it excellent for techniques like mincing, julienning, and chiffonade.
