8.5" Chef’s Knife in 73-Layer Damascus Steel with Olive Wood Handle

The blade features a powdered steel core (14Cr14MoVNb), rich in carbon, molybdenum, vanadium, and niobium, providing 62–64 HRC hardness and long-lasting edge retention. Surrounding the core are 72 external layers of SUS-410 stainless steel, creating the Damascus pattern while offering corrosion resistance and protection for the core. Mirror polishing and V-shape sharpening (15° ±1° per side) ensure precise and consistent cutting. A blade thickness of 2.1 mm balances robustness and flexibility. The rounded transition between blade and handle reduces stress points and enhances safety. Each blade undergoes vacuum and deep cryogenic heat treatment to optimise the microstructure. Ideal for delicate cuts and heavy-duty tasks without loss of performance. Maintains sharpness even under intensive use.

Handle Material

The handle is made of natural olive wood, offering high density and moisture resistance. Its unique texture provides a comfortable grip, reducing fatigue. Decorative floral copper rivets strengthen the blade-handle junction and balance weight, ensuring a stable, ambidextrous hold.
