About Us — Manal Alalem Knives

Every kitchen has a story that begins with a recipe, and a moment shared around food. For decades, the name Manal Alalem has been part of these stories, inspiring millions of households across the Arab world with her precision, expertise, and warm presence.

Building on more than thirty years of culinary experience, the next chapter of her journey unfolds through a new creation:
Manal Alalem Knives.
A premium and professional knife collection designed for chefs and passionate home cooks across Saudi Arabia and the Middle East who seek tools that elevate the cooking experience in both performance and elegance.

Where the idea began

To Chef Manal, a knife has never been a simple kitchen tool. It has always been an extension of creativity, a gesture of respect toward ingredients, and a symbol of precision in every step.

From this vision came the desire to create a knife that embodies excellence and refined craftsmanship. A knife that merges exceptional performance with artistic beauty.

This is how the journey of crafting handmade, high-quality knives began.

Damascus craftsmanship and superior steel

Our knives are meticulously handcrafted by skilled artisans using high-carbon Damascus steel, renowned for its strength, durability, and distinctive character. Each blade goes through detailed forging and polishing to deliver a tool that combines power with fine craftsmanship.

Key features:

* 67 layers of Damascus steel for strength and visual elegance
* Exceptional sharpness at a 15° angle on each side
* Full Tang construction for stability and perfect balance
* Premium wooden handles designed for comfort and sophistication
* Unique Damascus pattern that makes each knife one of a kind

The result is a luxury knife that adds refinement to every cooking experience.

What makes our knives different?

* Limited-edition collections that highlight exclusivity
* Handmade craftsmanship inspired by Damascus and Solingen traditions
* A blend of functionality and artistic design
* Personally selected and approved by Chef Manal Alalem for superior quality
