12" Handmade Damascus Steel Chef Knife – 8" Full Tang Blade with Natural Wood Handle

This 12-inch handmade Damascus steel chef knife is expertly crafted for both professional chefs and home cooks. Featuring an 8-inch razor-sharp full tang blade and a natural wood handle, this knife delivers exceptional balance, durability, and precision cutting. Our Damascus steel is 100% real, made by forging together 1095 high carbon steel and 15N20 nickel steel. The billet is folded over and over until it forms 384 distinct layers, giving the blade its signature wavy pattern and outstanding strength. The blade is then acid-etched to reveal the stunning Damascus contrast, with high carbon steel turning blackish gray while the nickel layers shine in satin. After forging, the blade is carefully polished, sharpened to a fine edge, and paired with a smooth wooden handle for a comfortable grip. This chef knife is not only a highly functional kitchen tool but also a piece of fine craftsmanship that will last for years.
