13" Handmade Damascus Steel Kitchen Chef Knife – Oak Wood Handle with Leather Sheath for Cooking, Camping & Hunting

This 13-inch custom handmade Damascus steel kitchen chef knife is a perfect balance of beauty, performance, and durability. Expertly designed for cooking, camping, and hunting, it combines traditional forging techniques with modern artistry to create a knife that is as functional as it is visually striking. Measuring 13 inches overall, the knife features a 7.5-inch razor-sharp blade and a 5.5-inch handle crafted from premium oak wood, offering both comfort and long-lasting durability. A handcrafted leather sheath is included for safe storage and portability.
The blade is made from 256 layers of high-quality Damascus steel, forged from a combination of 1095 high carbon steel and 15N20 nickel steel. Each layer is meticulously forge-welded, twisted, drilled, flattened, ground, and heat treated to produce a distinctive modern Damascus pattern. The result is a razor-sharp blade with a Rockwell hardness of 58–60 HRC, ensuring excellent edge retention and durability. The final touches of etching and bluing enhance the intricate design, making this knife a true work of art.
This knife is not only crafted for exceptional performance but also designed to last for years. To maintain its sharpness and beauty, keep the blade clean and dry after each use, and occasionally apply a light coat of oil such as WD-40 to protect the Damascus pattern. In humid environments, any small spots of rust can be gently cleaned with a soft scrub, while the edge can be maintained with a quality sharpening system.
Entirely handmade with premium materials, this Damascus chef knife is ideal for professional chefs, outdoor enthusiasts, and collectors who value superior craftsmanship and reliability.
