Steak Knives Set

The demand for extra sharp and luxury steak knives has driven us to create a new line, the Shastra Steak Knives. The mission was to create a set of eight knives with exceptional design and materials that celebrate ergonomic function while maintaining the traditional aesthetics of intricate Balinese carvings.

The damascus blades were hand-forged to 161 Layers of manganese iron, pure nickel and a high carbon steel. Completed with an ebony handle and sandblasted sterling silver applications, this set of eight comes in a box made from indian rosewood and covered with fine black calf skin.

It’s our pleasure to present our newest creation.

Ceremony

It is said there is never a day in Bali without a ceremony. A few impressions of the daily based Canang Sari offerings made of banana leaves and decorated with colorful flowers followed by some pictures of an Odalan ceremony. It is the birthday celebration of the temple which always come along with traditional plays and held every 210 days based on the Pawukon, the balinese lunar calendar.

Workflow

It is fascinating how pure nickel, iron and high carbon steel combined become a one of a kind cutting tool. Each step from folding over teak charcoal, annealing and sharpening of the blade has been perfected over generations.
