Chef Knife — 67-Layer Damascus Steel | Stabilised Pakka

This Chef Knife is designed as a controlled, stable cutting tool for consistent daily kitchen use. Its profile favours precision, predictability, and balance, positioning the knife as a reliable entry-premium option within the FireForge portfolio.

Blade Engineering

The blade is built around a 10Cr15CoMoV stainless steel core, an entry-premium alloy selected for its balanced hardness, corrosion resistance, and dependable edge retention. Controlled heat treatment brings the core to approximately 60 ±2 HRC, ensuring stable cutting performance with manageable maintenance intervals.

Surrounding the core, 66 layers of 316L stainless steel are symmetrically laminated to form a 67-layer Damascus Steel construction. This cladding improves oxidation resistance, distributes mechanical stress, and reinforces lateral stability while protecting the cutting core during continuous use.

With a blade thickness of 2.2 mm, a length of 201 mm, and a width of 45.5 mm, the geometry supports precise control without excess mass. The cutting edge is finished at 15° per side, delivering clean slicing behaviour and predictable long-term edge performance.

Selective polishing reveals the Damascus pattern while maintaining low cutting friction during food contact.

Handle Construction

The handle is manufactured from K133 Pakka Wood, a stabilised wood–resin composite compressed under high pressure. This construction provides low moisture absorption, dimensional stability, and mechanical reliability. The ergonomic, ambidextrous profile supports secure grip and balanced handling during extended preparation tasks.
