12" Custom Hand Forged Damascus Steel Chef Kitchen Knife with Resin Handle & File Work

This 12-inch Custom Hand Forged Damascus Steel Chef Knife is a perfect blend of elegance, durability, and functionality — crafted for professional chefs, cooking enthusiasts, and collectors. Measuring 12 inches overall, it features a 7-inch razor-sharp blade and a 5-inch handle made from stunning resin scales, fastened securely with brass pins, a mosaic pin, and strong epoxy for lifetime durability. The spine of the blade and handle tang are adorned with excellent file work, showcasing the artistry behind each handmade piece. Forged from 1095 and 15N20 high carbon steel, the blade consists of 512 true layers, delivering a unique flowing Damascus pattern. At 4 mm thick, the blade is heat-treated for exceptional performance, achieving a Rockwell hardness of 50–54 HRC along the edge for long-lasting sharpness, and 42–45 HRC along the spine for added flexibility. The microscopic saw-blade effect of the Damascus construction ensures that this knife keeps cutting even when others have dulled. Featuring expert hand grinds with a sleek false edge on the top, this knife is as beautiful as it is functional. Offered by HM Knives, it is perfect for use in the kitchen, camping, and hunting, and makes an exquisite piece for any master chef or serious collector. Please note this knife comes without a leather sheath.
