8.5″ Chef Knife in 73-Layer Damascus Steel with Olive Wood Handle

8.5″ Chef Knife in Damascus Steel | Olive Wood Handle

The blade features a core made of 14Cr14MoVNb powder steel, rich in carbon, molybdenum, vanadium, and niobium, providing a hardness of 62–64 HRC and excellent edge retention. Surrounding the core are 72 layers of SUS-410 stainless steel, forming the Damascus pattern while protecting the core and enhancing corrosion resistance. A mirror-polished finish and V-shaped edge (~15° ±1° per side) ensure precise and consistent cutting. The 2.1 mm blade thickness balances strength and flexibility. Rounded transitions between the blade and handle reduce stress points, improving safety. Each blade undergoes vacuum heat treatment and deep cryogenic processing to optimise the microstructure. Ideal for delicate slicing and heavy-duty tasks without performance loss, maintaining sharpness even under intensive use.

Handle Material

The handle is crafted from natural olive wood, offering high density and moisture resistance. Its unique texture ensures a comfortable grip, reducing hand fatigue. Decorative copper rivets reinforce the blade-to-handle joint while providing balanced weight and ambidextrous handling.
