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:
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.
