Chef's Knife ā 12" High Carbon Damascus Steel with Green Handle
The Ultimate Culinary Companion
A chef's knife is an essential tool in any kitchen, designed for versatility and precision. Originally crafted for slicing and disjointing large cuts of beef, it has evolved into the go-to knife for most Western cooks. With a perfectly balanced design, this 12-inch chefās knife provides exceptional control and effortless cutting.
Superior Blade Craftsmanship
This chefās knife is forged from pattern-welded Damascus steel, known for its exceptional strength, durability, and striking aesthetics. Crafted through a meticulous process of heat treatment and folding, this blade features 352 layers of high-carbon steel, ensuring a razor-sharp edge that retains its sharpness over time.
The steel composition includes:
- 6 pieces of Carbon Steel (#43 and #40)
- 5 pieces of 1095 High Carbon Steel ā the same high-carbon steel used in premium swords, providing superior edge retention.
Through five folding stages, the blade reaches its final composition:
- 1st Fold: 11Ć2 = 22 layers
- 2nd Fold: 22Ć2 = 44 layers
- 3rd Fold: 44Ć2 = 88 layers
- 4th Fold: 88Ć2 = 176 layers
- 5th Fold: 176Ć2 = 352 layers
The result is a blade with a Rockwell Hardness of 55-56 HRC, achieving the perfect balance of hardness and flexibility for both precision slicing and durability.
Ergonomic & Stylish Handle
Designed for comfort and durability, the handle is made from Micarta, an incredibly strong and moisture-resistant material. The ergonomic grip ensures superior control, reducing hand fatigue during extended use.
