12" Handmade Damascus Steel Chef Knife – Custom Forged Kitchen Knife with Resin Handle

This 12-inch handmade Damascus steel chef knife is a masterpiece of craftsmanship, designed for precision, strength, and lasting performance in the kitchen. With an overall length of 12 inches, it features a 7-inch razor-sharp Damascus blade and a 5-inch handle made from stunning resin scales, fastened securely with brass pins and reinforced with strong epoxy for lifetime durability. Its ergonomic design ensures a comfortable grip and excellent balance, making it an exceptional choice for professional chefs, passionate home cooks, or collectors.
The blade is hand forged from 1095 and 15N20 high carbon steel, folded into 512 true layers that create a breathtaking Damascus pattern flowing all the way to the cutting edge. Forged over hours of skilled workmanship, the blade offers a microscopic “saw-blade effect,” allowing it to keep cutting sharply long after other knives have dulled. Expertly heat treated, it achieves a Rockwell hardness of 50–54 HRC along the edge and 42–45 HRC along the spine, ensuring a perfect balance between durability and sharpness.
Measuring 4 mm thick, the blade is robust and features flawless hand grinds on both sides, with the top edge left with a subtle false edge for enhanced style. Without a leather sheath, this knife stands as a pure showcase of functionality and artistry. Whether used in the kitchen, during camping, or as a premium collectible, this custom handmade Damascus chef knife is an exquisite piece worthy of any master chef.
