This stunning hand-forged Damascus steel kitchen chef knife is a true masterpiece of craftsmanship, combining strength, elegance, and precision. With an overall length of approximately 16.5 inches, this knife is carefully handcrafted from genuine Damascus steel, featuring a hardness of 54–58 HRC and a 4mm thick blade for superior durability and edge retention. Each blade is individually forged from layers of 1095 high carbon steel and 15N20 nickel steel, folded repeatedly to produce the beautiful and distinctive Damascus pattern. This process creates a unique wave-like texture across the blade surface — proof of real Damascus, not an acid-etched imitation. The full tang construction ensures perfect balance and lasting strength, while the natural wood handle, adorned with brass pins and a mosaic pin, provides both comfort and style. Every knife is 100% handmade, resulting in subtle variations that make each piece one of a kind. Perfectly suited for kitchen use, camping, hunting, or everyday carry, this versatile knife delivers performance and aesthetic appeal in equal measure. Please note that no leather sheath is included with this model. We encourage international buyers to review their country’s customs regulations before purchase, as buyers are responsible for any duties or import fees. Our Damascus steel knives are forged with care and passion — not simply acid-etched — ensuring you receive an authentic, high-quality blade that embodies both art and function.
