The Grand Gourmet Damasteel® collection impresses with blades made from a unique material: Damasteel®. Similar to Damascus steel, high-quality steels of varying hardness are used in the production of Damasteel®. These are powdered and bonded under vacuum with extreme pressure. The material sinters into a steel with approximately 120 layers of unparalleled homogeneity, which is then traditionally hand-forged in the WMF knife forge in Germany. Combined with a handle made of high-quality Cromargan and the final acid etching to reveal the individual layers, this results in perfectly balanced knives for maximum precision and safety when cutting, whose mere appearance is already captivating.

Unique Damasteel® - Damasteel® is an incomparable blade steel of the highest purity, produced using a powder metallurgy process. Like Damascus steel, high-quality steels of different hardness levels are used. These are powdered and bonded under vacuum with extreme pressure to create a blade steel with approximately 120 layers—providing WMF knives with unique toughness and strength, as well as superior edge sharpness and cutting ability.

WMF Performance Cut Technology - In this unique process, the internal structure of the blade is optimized through precise control.
