SARACEN® is a patented ergonomic kitchen knife from the Czech Republic, offering superior cutting precision, comfort, and modern design for professional and everyday use.

SARACEN®
The knife that changes the rules.

SARACEN is a new type of kitchen knife with a revolutionary design originating from the Czech Republic, protected by patent offices worldwide.

Thanks to the forward-positioned ergonomic handle and the knife’s center of gravity directly above the blade, force is transferred perpendicularly onto the edge. The result is better control and precision while cutting, easier slicing of even tough materials, less hand fatigue, and comfort during extended use.

  • The unique design with improved ergonomics also ensures optimal tool balance and protects the wrist joints from impact against the cutting surface.
  • The saber-shaped blade further facilitates cutting.
  • The knife is manufactured with a high degree of handcrafted work.

Blade Material and Hardness
SARACEN® knives are made from high-quality Damascus steel (67 layers) with a hardness of approximately 60 ± 2 HRC. This combination ensures long-lasting sharpness, high wear resistance, and sufficient toughness for everyday use.

DLC Coating – Black Diamond
Selected models feature a DLC (Diamond-Like Carbon) coating. This technology significantly increases the surface hardness of the blade, reduces cutting friction, and enhances corrosion resistance. DLC also gives the knife an exclusive dark appearance and extends the edge life in professional use.
