10.0" Handmade Damascus Steel Chef Knife – Professional Kitchen Blade with Hardwood Handle

This 10.0" handmade Damascus steel chef knife is crafted for precision, durability, and elegance, making it an essential tool in any kitchen. With an overall length of 10 inches, it features a 5-inch blade and a 5-inch hardwood handle, designed to provide balance and a secure grip during use. Each blade is hand forged from 1095 and 15N20 high carbon steel, creating 512 true layers of Damascus steel. The result is a stunning natural pattern across the blade, achieved through hours of skilled forging and polishing. The knife has undergone excellent heat treatment, achieving a Rockwell hardness of 50–54 at the edge and 42–45 along the spine, ensuring long-lasting sharpness and toughness. At 4 mm thick, the blade features fine hand grinds on both sides with a false edge on the top for added style and balance. The unique saw-blade effect at the microscopic level helps maintain cutting performance, allowing the blade to remain sharp longer than standard knives. The hardwood handle is not only beautiful but also highly durable, secured with brass pins and reinforced with strong epoxy for a lifetime of reliable use. This professional chef knife combines functionality with artistry, making it perfect for chefs, collectors, and culinary enthusiasts.
