Bring professional-style precision and distinctive Damascus craftsmanship to your kitchen with this 8-inch VG10 Copper Damascus Chef Knife. Designed for cooks who want a combination of cutting performance, elegant styling, and premium materials, this Japanese-style chef knife features a striking hammered Damascus blade with copper-colored layered detailing and a unique G10, copper mesh, and resin handle.

With an approximately 212 mm blade, 133 mm handle, 2.5 mm blade thickness, and a hardness of approximately 60±2 HRC, this chef knife is designed for everyday food preparation, including slicing, cutting, chopping, and portioning vegetables, fruits, meat, herbs, and other ingredients.

VG10 Copper Damascus Blade

At the heart of this chef knife is a VG10 Copper Damascus blade, combining the reputation of VG10 stainless steel with an eye-catching Damascus-style layered construction.

The blade features a distinctive hammered texture across the upper portion, creating a three-dimensional surface that catches the light beautifully. Copper-toned Damascus lines run through the polished portion of the blade, giving the knife its signature copper Damascus appearance.

VG10 is widely valued in kitchen knives for its combination of edge retention, hardness, toughness, and corrosion resistance, making it a popular choice for premium culinary cutlery.

The result is a chef knife that performs as a practical kitchen tool while also looking like a carefully crafted piece of culinary equipment.

Striking Hammered Damascus Finish

The hammered pattern is one of the defining characteristics of this knife.

Rather than using a plain, uniform blade finish, the textured surface gives the knife a distinctive handcrafted appearance. The combination of the dark hammered section and copper-colored Damascus layers creates a dramatic contrast along the blade.

The textured surface may also help reduce the amount of food that adheres directly to the blade during certain cutting tasks.

8-Inch Chef Knife for Everyday Kitchen Preparation

The approximately 8-inch / 212 mm blade provides a versatile cutting surface without feeling excessively large.

This makes the knife suitable for a wide range of everyday kitchen tasks, including:

  • Slicing meat

  • Cutting vegetables

  • Preparing fruits

  • Chopping herbs

  • Slicing boneless meat

  • Cutting poultry

  • Preparing fish and seafood

  • Shredding and portioning ingredients

  • General food preparation

The blade profile provides a useful balance between cutting surface and maneuverability, making it suitable for both home cooks and culinary enthusiasts.

Fine 12–15° Per-Side Cutting Edge

The knife is specified with an edge angle of approximately 12–15 degrees per side.

This relatively fine edge geometry is designed for precise kitchen cutting and allows the blade to move cleanly through many common ingredients when properly maintained.

For best performance, use the knife on an appropriate cutting board and maintain the edge with a suitable sharpening system designed for fine kitchen knife edges.

Approximately 60±2 HRC Hardness

The blade is specified at approximately 60±2 HRC.

This level of hardness is well suited to a premium kitchen knife because it provides the rigidity needed to support a fine cutting edge while maintaining practical usability.

As with any high-hardness kitchen knife, proper cutting technique and maintenance are important. Avoid twisting the blade, striking hard materials, or using the knife for tasks outside its intended kitchen applications.

2.5 mm Blade Thickness

With a specified blade thickness of approximately 2.5 mm, this chef knife is designed to provide a balance between stability and cutting performance.

The blade is substantial enough for everyday kitchen preparation while maintaining a relatively refined profile for controlled slicing and cutting.

Premium G10, Copper Mesh & Resin Handle

The handle combines G10, copper mesh, and resin to create a distinctive appearance that complements the copper Damascus blade.

Its dark finish features decorative copper-toned detailing, giving the knife a premium contemporary aesthetic while maintaining the visual character of a handcrafted kitchen knife.

The approximately 133 mm handle provides ample space for a secure and controlled grip during everyday food preparation.

A Chef Knife That Looks as Good as It Performs

This isn't a plain stainless-steel kitchen knife.

The combination of VG10 steel, copper Damascus detailing, hammered texture, and a G10/copper/resin handle gives this chef knife a distinctive appearance from every angle.

Whether displayed in your kitchen, used for everyday meal preparation, or added to a collection of premium culinary knives, its detailed blade and unique handle make it a standout piece.

Frequently Asked Questions

01. Is it safe?

Yes. Every White Hills knife is made to be safe when used and handled properly.

Our knives are built with solid construction, secure handles, and well-balanced designs so they feel stable and controlled in your hand. Each piece is carefully checked before it’s packed, lightly oiled, and protected for safe delivery.

Like any sharp tool, it should be handled with care and kept out of reach of children. With proper use and basic care, it’s a reliable tool you can trust.

02. What makes our Knives different?

We focus on quality over mass production, using strong steels and natural handle materials that give every knife its own character.

Each knife is built to feel right in your hand, hold its edge, and last. From careful finishing to precise engraving, nothing is rushed.

It’s simple we make knives you’ll actually use and keep.

03. How durable are White Hills Knives?

White Hills knives are made to last. With heat-treated steel and solid construction, they’re built to handle real use - not just sit on a shelf. Take care of them, and they’ll stay sharp, reliable, and part of your kit for years.

04. How do I choose the right knife for my needs?

It starts with how you plan to use it.

For everyday use, an all-purpose knife is a solid choice. For hunting or tougher tasks, a fixed blade works best. If you want something easy to carry, go with a folding knife.

Comfort matters too - it should feel right in your hand.

If you’re unsure, feel free to reach out. We’re always happy to help you find the right knife.

05. How do I maintain my knife’s performance?

Keeping your knife in top condition is simple.

Clean and dry it after each use, especially if it’s exposed to moisture. Apply a light coat of oil to the blade to prevent rust and keep it smooth.

Use a sharpening stone or honing tool regularly to maintain a sharp edge. Avoid cutting on hard surfaces like glass or stone, as it can damage the blade.

Store it in a dry place, preferably in its sheath or box.

With a little care, your knife will stay sharp, reliable, and ready for years to come.

06. Are your knives suitable for professional chefs?

Absolutely. Our chef knives are designed with both professional chefs and home cooks in mind. The combination of craftsmanship and functionality makes them excellent tools in the kitchen.

07. Will my knife look exactly like the product photos?

Because our knives are handmade, each piece may have slight natural variations in Damascus pattern, handle color, wood grain, finish, and overall appearance. The overall design and quality will remain the same, but small differences are part of the handmade character of each knife.

08. Do you offer engraving?

Yes. We offer custom engraving on eligible knives and sheaths. Engraving options may vary depending on product size, blade shape, and sheath design. Please review all spelling, initials, dates, and customization details carefully before placing your order.

09. Can I buy a knife as a gift?

Yes. Our knives are popular for birthdays, anniversaries, Father’s Day, groomsmen gifts, holidays, collectors, outdoorsmen, chefs, and knife enthusiasts. Gift wrap and engraving may be available on eligible products.
