12" Handmade Professional Damascus Chef Knife – 7" Blade with Hardwood Handle

This 12-inch Professional Handmade Damascus Chef Knife is the perfect balance of performance, durability, and style. With an overall length of 12 inches, it features a 7-inch razor-sharp blade and a 5-inch handle crafted from beautiful hardwood, fastened securely with brass pins and reinforced with strong epoxy for lifetime durability. Each blade is hand-forged from a blend of 1095 and 15N20 high-carbon steel, folded repeatedly to create 512 true layers of Damascus steel. This time-intensive process produces the stunning Damascus wave pattern that runs all the way to the edge, making every knife unique. The blade undergoes expert heat treatment to achieve a Rockwell hardness of 50–54 along the edge and 42–45 along the spine, delivering both sharpness and toughness. At 4 mm thick, the blade provides excellent strength and stability, with precise hand grinds on both sides and a false edge on the spine for better balance and cutting efficiency. Unlike standard knives, the microscopic saw-tooth effect of Damascus steel allows this blade to keep cutting long after others have dulled. Perfect for professional chefs and cooking enthusiasts, this handcrafted Damascus chef knife is designed to elevate your kitchen experience with exceptional sharpness, durability, and timeless craftsmanship.
