Premium 12" Handmade Damascus Steel Full Tang Chef Kitchen Knife

This 12.0" full tang kitchen chef knife is meticulously handmade using authentic Damascus steel, crafted from 384 layers of 1095HC and 15N20 nickel carbon steel. The blade is oil tempered to a hardness of 58-60 HRC and sharpened precisely at a 20-degree angle for exceptional cutting performance. Our Damascus steel is created by repeatedly heating, folding, and forging the steel bars to develop the unique layered pattern. The blade is then acid-etched, which reveals the stunning nickel satin color and the contrasting blackish-gray high carbon layers, showcasing the distinct Damascus pattern. High polishing of the handle removes the acid etch for a smooth finish, while the blade edge retains a satin finish after sharpening. The knife you see in the photos is exactly what you will receive. All knives are 100% handmade with no CNC machining involved, ensuring true craftsmanship and quality.
