Damascus steel
The steel of €2,000 blades. Without the €2,000 price.
Layered Damascus steel has long been the signature of collector knives from small, specialist workshops — blades that sell for €2,000 and more. Every Okura blade is built on that same layered construction: multiple layers of steel, forged into one, each with its own flowing grain.
No two blades carry the same pattern. Yours is one of a kind.

Layered Damascus · hammered finish
The honest comparison
Same Damascus character. A fraction of the price.
Collector knives are beautiful — and priced like art. We kept what matters in the kitchen and left out the workshop mark-up.
Multiple layers of steel forged into one blade — the source of its strength and its flowing, one-of-a-kind grain.
02
Hammered finish
Hammered dimples create tiny air pockets, so slices fall away cleanly instead of sticking to the blade.
03
Precision edge
A fine, keen bevel that glides through tomato skin, herbs and proteins with almost no pressure.
04
Seamless bolster
A smooth transition from blade to handle for a secure pinch grip and full control.
05
Balanced hardwood handle
Shaped to sit naturally in the hand and balanced for long, comfortable prep sessions.

THE EDGE
Sharpness you feel in the first cut.
The flowing grain is only half of the story. Layered Damascus steel, a fine edge geometry and a careful finish work together to deliver the crisp, effortless cut you feel the first time you use it.
Keep it that way: a wooden board, a quick hand wash, dry straight away. A well-kept blade stays precise for years.
Layered Damascus steel. Precision at the edge.
THE CUSTOMER FAVOURITES
Find your next favourite knife.
Six customer favourites — from your first chef’s knife to a complete set.
Yes — the blade is built from layered steel, forged together and finished to reveal the flowing Damascus grain. Because every blade is layered and finished individually, the pattern on your knife is unique.
How can it cost so much less than a €2,000 Damascus knife?+
Collector knives carry small-batch workshop pricing, waiting lists and dealer margins. We sell directly and focus on what matters in the kitchen: the layered steel, the edge and the balance.
Which Okura knife should I start with?+
For an all-round first knife, explore the 8.1-inch chef’s knife. Prefer a broader profile for vegetables? The santoku or 7.1-inch chef’s knife is ideal. Choose a set when you want several blade profiles together.
Can I put it in the dishwasher?+
Hand washing is recommended. Wash carefully with mild soap and dry immediately to protect the blade and handle. Never leave your knife soaking.
Does it make a good gift?+
A Damascus knife is one of the most appreciated gifts for anyone who cooks — beautiful to unbox, and used every single day.
What about shipping, returns and warranty?+
Free shipping is included. Delivery estimates appear at checkout. Okura’s 25-year warranty applies under its terms; see the store’s return policy for return conditions.
I’ve been using my new pans since the moment i received them! I absolutely love cooking with them! And the best part; I don’t need to sound the alarm when someone scratches the inside of it, it doesn’t leave any streaks or remove any finish. What a game changer.
Attached photo showed after cooking egg omelette, Did not stick to the pan. I can use any stainless steel spatula, not a scratch. However, I still need time to learn about different kinds temperature with different kinds of meat.
Love the pans. It does take getting use to. Heating the pan first, then adding oil or butter. Adding your food you must let it cook. It will eventually unstick by itself. Cleanup is amazingly very easy. Wish I had these years ago as a chef.
.
Love that this is PFAS free and is relatively easy to clean. I did not give it a five star rating because, as seen in picture, it is stained, after cooking a turkey burger in it.
I love both the pants. After several tries, I’m finally doing the eggs right. Have not tried meat yet. The problem is the 12 inch pan is wobbly I think because I was trying to dry it by putting it on the burner and then coating with a little oil, but it was on there too long and warped. That’s just what I think. Is there anyway you can help me with that. Thank you. Video I think is attached.
The Okura titanium pans are the only set that offers an 8" egg pan along with the 10"-12" pans so that helped me decide on Okura. They are great - no stick for eggs, great for stir-fry, searing salmon and meat in the larger pans. The weight is perfect - pan is light but the handle gives it a perfect weight. They cost a bit but it's top-quality cookware. Thank you - will be ordering more of these.
Love the size and quite easy to clean. Good for my daily cooking. Just need to know level of heat when the pan is ready for cooking. Not 100% as non stick pan but better than stainless steal.
I was a cook for 10 years at a full service restaurant. Quality is very important to me and knowing that non stick materials from the pan are not in my food is very important I was taught to always cook slow to not stress the food
The first pan was the 12" pan. Love it, easy cooking at a lower heat than I'm use to then I received the 8" and 9" . Also I now have 3 knifes that cut meat soooo easy! The first time using the pans I had to adjust my temperature lower as I started burning the meat. Also remember it cooks the whole pan surface evenly. Looking forward to add more to my collection!
I love the look of the pan and it feels premium quality. I also love the lack of chemicals and toxic coatings - this does however mean it is not 100% non-stick like some of the cheaper coated brands (although this never lasts) but that's okay with me! It cooks perfectly, is easy to clean and it can go from hob to oven.
Thank you very much for my 8 inch titanium frying pan and age 92 taking up cooking three years ago. It’s very much a pleasure to have such a beautiful hobby. The last of my lifetime… I experienced an unfortunate injury in November 2025 well at a car dealership purchasing a new vehicle nine months later I’m just coming out of the Walker stage.. when I purchased my frying pan from you approximately a month ago. I didn’t realize what a series of adventures were to be presented to me. There were communications between us. Over the period of time eventually, I was to lose my patience and send you messages that were regretful as I look back at it. It was very difficult communicating with you over this period of time. I think that you should have a better system of presenting your tracking system to a buyer. I would say it was close to nonexistent in the parcel, possibly was hundreds of miles in front of the tracking location when and if it did appear, I didn’t realize it until one day I went out to do an air that looked back at my front entrance, and there was the parcel safe and sound at its designated destination I am a semi retired professional photographer. I have been so preoccupied with my health that I haven’t had the moment in time to cook that fabulous egg that haunts me be so kind as to give me your email and next week or two I promise I’ll send you some kind of a picture. It will be a little different.
In the near future, I expect to and hope to order your 10 inch walk. I like Chinese cooking save one for me please… your presentation of your cookware to the public is second to none very well presented.. thank you sincerely Robert L PECK
I am completely dissatisfied with the 3 frypan pack with lids that I have purchased.
They do not non stick and they become very hard to clean both internally and externally and are already badly stained after just a few uses.
I respectfully request that I am fully refunded my purchase price with out delay.
I am not happy with the way these items are sold and feel I have been dudded.
My original order number is Order #OKURA12837115.
Please contact me to arrange a refund
Many thank.
David Breckenridge
And they call this a set 3 lids 3 different handles. I complained and ask for replacement handle that were the same and their answer was you got what you ordered. No option to purchase matching handles just go f*** off. Do business at your own risk, i will not ever purchase from them again.
I bought this Okura pan and unfortunately, it has looked like this since the very first day. No matter what I cook in it, everything burns and sticks to the bottom. I have tried different foods and cooking methods, but the problem is always the same.
For a new pan, I expected much better quality. I’m very disappointed with the Okura pan and would not recommend it based on my experience.
The pan LOOKS fine. But looks are deceiving. Everything I tried to cook, eggs, steak, one pancake... stuck to the pan. Low heat, medium, didn't matter. Took a while to clean the scorch out of the pan. The Taima titanium I bought was worth the money. Easily nonstick, even cooking. Okura is overpriced and worthless.
I followed all of the instructions provided by Okura before using the cookware, including properly preparing the pans before cooking. Unfortunately, I am very disappointed with the results.
The cookware was promoted as having high-quality non-stick performance, but my experience has been quite different. Despite following the recommended instructions carefully, the pans did not perform as expected and food still stuck to the surface.
I purchased these pans based on the advertised non-stick quality, so I expected much better performance. I feel the product did not live up to the claims made in the promotion.
I hope Okura will take this feedback seriously and provide a satisfactory solution, as I am not happy with the quality and performance of the cookware.
