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

This 12-inch custom handmade Damascus steel chef knife combines exquisite craftsmanship with unmatched durability, making it an essential tool for both professional chefs and home cooks. With an overall length of 12.0 inches, this premium knife features a 7.0-inch blade and a 5.0-inch handle crafted from beautiful resin scales. The handle is securely fastened with brass pins and reinforced with strong epoxy, ensuring lifetime durability and a comfortable, balanced grip.
Expertly hand forged from 1095 and 15N20 high carbon steel, the blade consists of 512 true layers, producing a stunning Damascus pattern that flows elegantly from spine to edge. Each blade undergoes hours of meticulous forging, creating a microscopic “saw-blade effect” that allows it to stay sharper for longer compared to ordinary knives. Heat treated to perfection, the blade achieves a Rockwell hardness of 50–54 HRC along the edge and 42–45 HRC along the spine, delivering both strength and cutting precision.
Measuring 4 mm thick, the blade features fine hand grinds on both sides with the top edge left with a subtle false edge, showcasing both beauty and functionality. Without a leather sheath, this knife emphasizes its flawless craftsmanship and practical design. Perfect for everyday kitchen use, camping, or as a collector’s piece, this handmade Damascus chef knife is truly an exquisite tool for any master chef.
