Full description

SARACEN® PRO is based on the same concept as the entire SARACEN® range, whose design is protected by patent offices as a globally valid industrial design: the handle and center of gravity are shifted toward the middle of the knife, so you apply pressure vertically rather than at an angle and cut more precisely with less effort. Popular with professional chefs for its wider and taller blade, designed for a combination of slicing and chopping larger quantities of ingredients - vegetables and meat. The slightly saber-shaped, razor-sharp blade made of premium Damascus steel also easily scoops sliced ingredients straight off the cutting board.

The SARACEN® concept was designed by Czech engineers: the shifted center of gravity, handle shape, and blade curvature are the result of Czech development, not a copy of an established knife design. The PRO blade is forged from premium Damascus steel, 67 layers, giving it a distinctive wavy pattern and a good balance of hardness and toughness. This means the edge stays sharp longer, but Damascus steel generally requires slightly more careful handling than standard stainless steel.

Slightly saber-shaped blade, razor-sharp, easily scoops sliced ingredients off the cutting board
Blade made of premium Damascus steel, 67 layers, hardness 60 ± 2 HRC

Frequently asked questions

What is protected on the SARACEN® PRO knife?

As with the entire SARACEN® range, the center of gravity is shifted to the center of the knife instead of being behind the handle. The design is protected worldwide by patent offices as an industrial design. This lets you apply pressure perpendicularly to the blade rather than at an angle, so you can cut more precisely and with less effort.

Why does the SARACEN® PRO have a wider blade?

The wider, taller blade makes it easier to both slice and chop larger quantities of ingredients, including vegetables and meat. Its slight saber-like curve also makes it easy to scoop sliced ingredients straight off the cutting board. That’s why it’s popular with professional chefs.

What is the difference between SARACEN® and SARACEN® PRO?

The SARACEN® PRO has a wider, taller blade designed for both slicing and chopping, while the standard SARACEN® range is slimmer and geared more toward precise slicing. The PRO range is currently available only in the Standard finish, with no Black Diamond option.

Which SARACEN® PRO blade length should I choose?

175 mm is the more compact option, with a tall blade that makes it easy to scoop ingredients off the cutting board - it also suits smaller hands. 218 mm offers a longer stroke, faster cutting, and a more robust balance for larger portions.

What is the SARACEN® PRO blade made of?

Made from premium Damascus steel, with 67 layers, a hardness of 60 ± 2 HRC, and a 20° edge angle. This combination keeps the edge sharp for a long time and is also easy to sharpen.

How should I care for the SARACEN® PRO knife?

Wash it by hand only and dry it immediately with a soft cloth. Do not put it in the dishwasher or expose it to harsh cleaning products or acids, as Damascus steel is more sensitive than ordinary stainless steel.

The SARACEN® PRO knife is designed in the Czech Republic so its wider blade, center of gravity, and handle shape work together when slicing, chopping, and scooping ingredients, rather than being separate features in a product description. You’ll notice it within the first minute of use.

Petra

Honestly, the shape threw me off a little at first, but after a few days of use, I wouldn’t change a thing. The knife fits beautifully in my hand, and that “beak” really makes sense, especially when chopping on a cutting board – I finally don’t bang my knuckles against the board 🙂 I mainly use it for vegetables and meat, and the slicing motion is really smooth, almost effortless. You can tell it’s well balanced – the knife practically “works by itself.” It stays surprisingly sharp; I haven’t needed to sharpen it yet. Plus, it looks really beautiful – the Damascus steel pattern looks even better in person than in the photos. In my opinion, it’s a great addition to the kitchen that’s not just a design piece, but really works 👍

Valerie

I use the knife every day and am very happy with it. It feels great in my hand, is well balanced, and makes cutting really easy and precise. It also looks beautiful, so I love having it as a design piece in my kitchen.

Petr B.

At the trade fair in Prague, I was impressed by the Saracen 220 mm knife, but unfortunately it was no longer available there. I ended up ordering it online as a gift for my dad’s 60th birthday—and it was a perfect choice. The knife is very well made and feels sturdy, balanced, and high-quality from the first touch. Dad took to it immediately and uses it practically every day. Overall, it’s a great gift that made him happy and also works well for everyday use.

Karel Kováč

The knife design is something amazing that you don't see every day. An ideal gift for loved ones and friends.
I will definitely shop here again.

Miroslav Pivčík

At first glance, it seemed a little longer to me. But now I use it almost every day. I’m constantly impressed by how sharp it is when cutting vegetables, but especially when portioning meat. My wife was initially a little wary of it, but she’s gotten used to it and wouldn’t be without it.

Magda

For your ideal knife, it cuts beautifully and effortlessly and is an elegant addition to the kitchen. I recommend it.

Bruno from Prague

Excellent quality and design, I recommend it to anyone who wants to try something new and isn’t afraid of change.

Tomáš from Prague

I appreciate the knife’s excellent grip and the sharpness of the blade. A clean cut in one stroke.

Easy maintenance of Damascus steel

Pavla from Olomouc

I’ve been using this knife for six months, and it’s worked brilliantly so far. The blade stays sharp for a long time. It cuts meat beautifully. I can highly recommend it.

Petr from Prague

This designer knife made of Damascus steel absolutely captivated me. The handle fits perfectly in the hand, and the knife is very easy to control. I recommend it to anyone looking for a combination of beauty and functionality.
