13" Custom Hand Forged Damascus Steel Chef Knife Kitchen Knife with Natural Wood Handle

This 13-inch Custom Hand Forged Damascus Steel Chef Knife is a premium tool designed for professional chefs, home cooks, and collectors who demand both beauty and performance. With an overall length of 13 inches, the blade measures 8 inches and the handle measures 5 inches, crafted from beautiful natural wood scales secured with brass pins and strong epoxy for lifetime durability. The blade is forged from authentic Damascus steel, made from 1095 and 15N20 high carbon steel, folded into 512 true layers that create a stunning flowing pattern all the way to the cutting edge. At 4 mm thick, the blade features fantastic hand grinds on both sides, with a false edge on the top for a sleek finish. Heat-treated to perfection, the Rockwell hardness measures 50–54 HRC along the edge for long-lasting sharpness and 42–45 HRC along the spine for added toughness. This knife’s unique Damascus construction forms a microscopic saw-blade effect, allowing it to stay razor sharp longer than conventional knives. Handcrafted with exceptional skill and attention to detail, each piece is one of a kind, making it not just a kitchen essential but also a collector’s treasure. Please note this knife comes without a leather sheath.
