Custom Handmade Damascus Steel Hardwood Hunting Chef Knife – 12.8" Overall Length

This custom handmade Damascus steel hunting and chef knife is a remarkable blend of strength, beauty, and craftsmanship. With an overall length of 12.8 inches, featuring a 7.8-inch razor-sharp blade and a 5-inch durable hardwood handle, this knife is designed to handle years of tough hunting, skinning, and kitchen tasks. The Damascus blade is folded 5 times, starting from 9 layers of 1095 and 15N20 steel, creating approximately 288 unique layers that result in a striking pattern and exceptional cutting performance. Forged through hours of skilled work, the blade produces a microscopic saw-tooth effect along the edge, allowing it to stay sharper longer than standard blades. The blade has been heat treated to a Rockwell hardness of 58–60 at the edge and 4.50 mm thickness, making it both strong and resilient. The spine carries elegant file work, while the hand grinds on both sides enhance precision and balance. The rock-solid hardwood handle not only adds beauty but also provides a secure and comfortable grip for reliable use. This one-of-a-kind handmade knife is a prestigious addition to any collection and a dependable tool for outdoor adventures or professional cooking.
