13" Professional Chef Kitchen Knife Damascus Blade with Hardwood Handle

This 13-inch professional chef kitchen knife by Heritage Forge is a true work of art, handmade with durability and elegance in mind. Crafted from premium Damascus steel, this blade showcases a stunning pattern formed by 512 true layers of 1095 and 15N20 high carbon steel. The forging process takes hours of meticulous work to create the saw-blade effect at a microscopic level, allowing the edge to stay sharp far longer than standard knives. The blade measures 8 inches, with a 5-inch hardwood handle fastened securely with brass pins and strengthened by strong epoxy for lifetime durability. At 4 mm thick, the blade provides both power and precision, featuring excellent hand grinds on both sides with a false edge on the top side for enhanced style and balance. Heat treated to a Rockwell hardness of 50 to 54 along the edge and 42 to 45 along the spine, this knife delivers outstanding performance whether used in the kitchen, for camping, or as part of a professional collection. Fully functional and 100% handmade, this Heritage Forge knife is designed for chefs, collectors, and outdoor enthusiasts who value quality and craftsmanship.
