Damascus Japanese Chef's Kitchen Knife 15cm Blade

Product number: 17736

The smaller of the three Chef’s Knives in our Damascus Japanese knife range, the 15cm Damascus Chef’s Knife will quickly become indispensable in your daily prepping routine – essential for preparing any meal, no matter how simple. It’s super-sharp and perfectly-weighted too, to give you full control whatever the task you’re tackling.

Our range of Damascus Japanese knives has not one, but two, chef’s knives so that you can pick the one that suits you and your cooking technique best. Both have the traditional wide blade, pointed tip and a gently curved shape, in the French or Japanese style, so that you can employ a continuous rocking action as you chop.

The Damascus Chef’s Knife is also available in 20cm and 24cm sizes.

About Lakeland Damascus Knives

Sharpened using the same techniques as those used to make Samurai swords, Damascus knives undergo a process of lamination where the super-hard carbon steel core is layered with 67 coatings of stainless steel for a distinctive blade that is strong yet flexible with a superior cutting edge.

This multi-layering technique is believed to have been discovered in Damascus around 300BC – hence the name – eventually making its way east to be perfected by Japanese sword-smiths where the blade’s finish was aptly named ‘kasumi-nagashi’ or ‘floating mist’.

Full tang with an ice-tempered blade, each beautifully balanced knife also has a comfortable riveted wooden handle to give you excellent precision and control.

"Great Knife"

star star star star star

This is a fantastic knife, well balanced and phenomenally sharp! I would like to know the angle of the blade for sharpening as this is not given. I will be looking to slowly collect the rest of the range.

support_agent A note from the team

Thank you for placing your review. We'd recommend the best way to sharpen our Damascus knives is using a whetstone at a 15 degree angle or use a sharpening steel. We wouldn’t suggest a generic knife sharpener for these knives.

"Beautiful but....."

star star star star star_border

Stunning knife to look at and very nice and comfortable to hold and cuts well but not a patch on the Robert Welch equivalent which i have purchased in place of, although the RW handles in my opinion are not as comfortable as these handles

"good value"

star star star star star_border

I recently bought this knife and was pleased by its sharpness and weight, however the finish is not the best. This steel is very good for the price 61-63 hardness and VG-10 core with 33layers each side usually found on more expensive knives. Despite the finish it offers good value for its price.

"Beautifully balanced but.."

star star star_border star_border star_border

I received this knife today. This knife is beautifully balanced and a pleasure to use. I'm an ex pro chef so have a host a knives including very expensive Japanese handmade knives. This is so right and probably has one of the best balances I have experienced. Here is what really let's this knife down and the one thing that stops me from purchasing other knives in the same range let alone Lakeland knives. The finish is very, very poor! You can get better finished knives for a 1/4 of the price of this. The fantastic performance of this knife just doesn't compensate for the very poor finish.
