12.25" Handmade Damascus Steel Chef Kitchen Knife – Pakka Wood Handle, Brass Bolster, 512 Layers

This 12.25-inch handmade Damascus steel chef knife is a perfect combination of elegance, strength, and functionality. Crafted with precision and artistry, it is designed for professional chefs and passionate home cooks who appreciate high-quality tools.
The knife features an overall length of 12.25 inches, including a 7.25-inch razor-sharp Damascus steel blade and a 5-inch Pakka wood handle. The handle is secured with solid brass pins and finished with a hand-cast brass bolster, offering both beauty and long-lasting durability.
The blade is meticulously hand-forged from 1095 and 15N20 high carbon steel, forming 512 true layers that create a mesmerizing Damascus pattern. This forging process takes hours of skilled craftsmanship, ensuring the blade is not only visually stunning but also delivers superior cutting performance. The unique “saw-blade effect” at a microscopic level allows the knife to retain its sharp edge far longer than ordinary blades.
With a Rockwell hardness rating of 54 HRC along the edge and 42–45 HRC along the spine, combined with a 4 mm thick blade, this knife achieves the perfect balance of sharpness and resilience. The hand grinds on both sides, along with a false top edge, provide excellent control and precision.
This knife does not include a leather sheath. 100% handmade, it is more than a kitchen tool — it’s a work of art and a premium addition to any chef’s collection. Perfect for professional use, everyday cooking, or as a distinguished gift.
