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

The heart of this blade is 14Cr14MoVNb powdered steel, a high-performance alloy combining chromium, molybdenum, vanadium, and niobium to deliver exceptional hardness, prolonged edge retention, and corrosion resistance. The vacuum heat treatment with liquid nitrogen cryogenics creates a fine, transparent microstructure in the core. The 73-layer Damascus steel surrounding the core consists of multiple stainless alloys, enhancing stability and forming the blade’s unique woven pattern. This multilayer stacking reduces internal stress and improves mechanical strength. Sharpness is refined manually with a wet 15° per side sharpening, ensuring smooth cuts with minimal effort. The mirror polish reduces cutting friction and eases cleaning. The entire structure is precisely balanced with a full tang, complemented by an ergonomic polished olive wood handle.
