A handcrafted chef knife forged from explosion-pattern Damascus steel and designed for exceptional cutting performance, balance, and control.
The blade is forged from 1084 and 15N20 steels, creating a distinctive Damascus pattern with striking visual contrast. Every knife is forged, ground, heat treated, and finished by hand in Wisconsin. No two knives are exactly alike.
Specifications
Blade Style: Chef Knife
Blade Steel: Explosion-Pattern Damascus (1084 & 15N20)
Cutting Edge: 10 in.
Overall Length: 15.5 in.
Heel Height: 2.25 in.
Spine Thickness: 0.079 in.
Weight: 204 grams

Handle Materials: Desert Ironwood & African Blackwood

Performance
Designed as a true working chef knife, this blade features thin geometry and a distal taper for efficient cutting performance and precise control. Despite its generous 10-inch cutting edge, the knife weighs only 204 grams and balances at the pinch grip, reducing fatigue during extended kitchen work.
Damascus Steel
Forged from layers of 1084 and 15N20 steel, the blade displays a unique explosion-pattern Damascus. This steel combination is valued for excellent edge performance, toughness, ease of sharpening, and distinctive appearance.
Each Damascus pattern develops uniquely during forging, making every knife one of a kind.
Handle Materials
The handle combines Desert Ironwood and African Blackwood separated by a nickel silver spacer.
Desert Ironwood is known for its durability, density, and dramatic figure, while African Blackwood provides exceptional stability and contrast. Together they create a handle that is both durable and refined.
Care
This knife is made from high-carbon Damascus steel.
• Hand wash only
• Dry immediately after use
• Apply a light coat of oil before long-term storage
• Do not place in a dishwasher
A natural patina may develop over time and is a normal characteristic of carbon steel.
Included
• The exact knife shown in the photographs
• Protective velvet storage case
This is a completed one-of-one knife ready to ship.
