Damascus Blade Detail:

The blade is expertly crafted by combining 1095 and VG10 steel through repeated layering, welding, hammering, and finishing. This process creates the distinctive Damascus pattern across the blade, giving every knife its own individual appearance.

Because the pattern develops naturally during forging and finishing, no two blades are exactly alike. Each knife carries its own unique visual character and handcrafted detail.

The blade is heat treated to approximately HRC 58–60 hardness, providing a dependable combination of sharpness, strength, durability, and edge retention for professional and everyday kitchen use.

The 8.0-inch French-style blade offers a versatile cutting profile well suited for slicing, chopping, dicing, mincing, trimming, and general food preparation.

Scales & Handle Detail:

The handle is crafted from exotic stabilized olive wood burl and resin composite, combining natural wood grain with the visual depth and stability of resin.

The stabilized material is carefully shaped, finished, and sealed to help protect it from moisture, drying, and cracking while providing a comfortable and secure grip.

Brass mosaic pins reinforce the handle construction while adding a refined handcrafted finishing detail.

Natural variations in the olive burl ensure that every handle has its own distinctive character.
