13" Professional Handmade Damascus Chef Knife – 8" Blade with Hardwood Handle

This 13" Professional Handmade Damascus Chef Knife is a masterpiece of craftsmanship, combining elegance, durability, and superior performance. With an overall length of 13 inches, this chef knife features an 8-inch blade and a 5-inch handle crafted from premium hardwood, fastened with brass and mosaic pins, and reinforced with strong epoxy for lifetime durability. The blade is hand-forged from 1095 and 15N20 high-carbon steel, folded over and over to create 512 true layers of Damascus steel. This meticulous process results in the signature Damascus wave pattern, flowing beautifully to the edge of the blade and ensuring each knife is one-of-a-kind. The blade undergoes excellent heat treatment, achieving a Rockwell hardness of 50–54 along the edge and 42–45 along the spine, delivering the perfect balance of toughness, strength, and edge retention. At 4 mm thick, the blade offers fantastic stability with hand-ground edges and a false edge on the spine for improved balance. The microscopic saw-blade effect of Damascus steel ensures this knife keeps cutting long after other blades have dulled. Whether used in a professional kitchen or at home, this handmade Damascus chef knife is designed for precision cutting, long-lasting sharpness, and unmatched style.
