Fine Custom Handmade Damascus Steel Blade Chef Knife – Full Tang

This fine custom handmade Damascus steel blade chef knife features an overall length of 11.0 inches, with a 6.0-inch blade and a 5.0-inch handle. The blade is oil tempered to 58-60 HRC and sharpened at a precise 20-degree angle for excellent cutting performance.Our Damascus steel is authentic, crafted by combining 1095 high carbon steel and 15N20 nickel carbon steel, which are heated and folded repeatedly to create 384 distinctive layers. The blade undergoes an acid treatment that reveals the beautiful layered pattern by turning the nickel layers a satin color while the high carbon steel turns blackish gray. This process highlights the unique Damascus pattern, which is not just an acid etch.After forging, the handles are high polished to remove the acid-burned layer, providing a smooth finish, while the blade edge retains a satin finish for optimal sharpness and durability. Each knife is 100% handmade, combining functionality with artistic craftsmanship.
