12-Inch Damascus Butcher Knife

This 12-inch custom knife carries a 7-inch Damascus steel blade forged from 1095 and 15N20 high and low carbon steel. The full-tang construction runs the length of the handle for balanced control. Heat treatment hardens the edge to 56 to 58 HRC for lasting sharpness during heavy prep work.

Kow Wood Handle with Brass Bolster

An exotic natural Kow wood scale forms the 5-inch handle grip, secured by three brass pins and a lanyard hole. The solid brass bolster adds weight forward of the guard and protects the wood from moisture. These fittings lock the tang in place without relying on adhesives alone.

4 mm Twisted-Pattern Blade Capacity

The approximately 4 mm thick twisted-pattern blade handles dense root vegetables, large fruit and meat portioning without flex. Hardness at 56 to 58 HRC holds a fine edge through repeated cuts but will chip if forced through frozen food or bone. The 7-inch cutting edge limits single-stroke length on extra-wide produce.

Questions about this item

Will the 1095/15N20 Damascus blade need special care to stop rust?

The high-carbon 1095/15N20 steel will patina and can rust if left wet. Dry it immediately after use, apply a light coat of food-safe oil occasionally, and store it in a dry place to maintain the edge and finish.

What stops the 7" blade from flexing when I break down heavy joints?

The blade is forged to roughly 4 mm thickness with a full-tang construction, giving it the rigidity to handle butchery tasks without noticeable flex during sustained cutting.

Does the 56-58 HRC hardness make the Kow wood handle get hot or slippery during long prep sessions?

Hardness is a blade property; the natural Kow wood handle with brass bolster stays at room temperature and offers a secure grip even with wet hands during extended use.
