12.0" Professional Handmade Damascus Chef Knife | Hardwood Handle

This 12.0" Professional Handmade Damascus Chef Knife is a true masterpiece for chefs, hunters, and collectors who value precision, durability, and artistry in their tools. Expertly crafted with an overall length of 12 inches, it features a 7-inch Damascus steel blade and a 5-inch ergonomic hardwood handle, providing perfect balance for both kitchen and outdoor use. The blade is forged from a blend of 1095 and 15N20 high carbon steels, folded over and over to create 512 true layers. This forging process produces the distinctive Damascus pattern while also delivering outstanding toughness and edge retention.The blade has undergone excellent heat treatment, with a Rockwell hardness of 50–54 along the edge and 42–45 along the spine, ensuring sharpness, durability, and resilience under heavy use. Its 4 mm thick spine and hand-grinded edges with a subtle false edge give the knife superior cutting power, allowing for effortless slicing, chopping, and precision tasks. At the microscopic level, the unique layered structure creates a saw-blade effect, enabling the edge to stay sharper longer than ordinary knives.The handle is constructed from beautiful hardwood scales, secured with brass pins, a decorative mosaic pin, and reinforced with strong epoxy for lifetime durability. The combination of natural beauty and sturdy construction makes it comfortable to hold while also adding elegance to the knife. Each piece is 100% handmade, making it not just a tool but also a work of art.
