Cutlery Salvation Handmade Damascus Blade Kitchen Full Tang Chef Knife – 13" Premium Forged Steel

The Cutlery Salvation Handmade Damascus Blade Kitchen Full Tang Chef Knife is a premium handcrafted tool, measuring 13.0 inches in overall length and oil tempered to a hardness of 58–60 HRC. The edges are sharpened at 20 degrees, ensuring exceptional cutting performance. The knife you see in the photos is exactly what you will receive. All our Damascus is real and not just an acid etch—crafted from a mixture of 1095 high carbon steel and 15N20 nickel carbon. The metals are heated together and repeatedly folded to achieve 384 layers. Once forged, the blade is burned in acid, turning the nickel a satin color and the high carbon a blackish-gray, exposing the unique layered patterns of the newly created Damascus steel. Every Damascus blade is acid etched to reveal these layers, but if the metal is highly polished, it will appear shiny and satin-like, as with all steels. Only after the blade sides are acid-burned do the striking Damascus patterns become visible. Following the forging process, we high polish the handles and put a razor-sharp edge on the blade. This high polishing removes the acid-burned layer from the handle area, while the sharpened edge takes on a smooth satin finish. The result is a durable, balanced, and visually stunning chef knife that combines beauty with functionality.
