HEZHEN B38 8.5" 73 Layer Damascus Chef Knife Wood Colored G10 Handle

A chef's knife is one of the most versatile kitchen tools – also making it one of the most popular - and it's a big favorite among both professional chefs and amateur home cooks. The chef knife also tends to be most people's go-to in the kitchen, because you can use it for just about anything. They can be used for chopping, slicing, mincing, and dicing, and you can use a chef's knife with different types of meat as well as vegetables.

This Damascus Steel Chef Knife is a great powder steel option to add to your kitchen. Each HEZHEN knife has a steel core covered in two protective stainless layers. All of which are properly heated using a vacuum/freezer process for consistency.

The core of the blade makes up the cutting edge and is made of 14Cr14MoVNb Powder Steel. Powder steel is a steel making method that gives a lot of control over the steel’s substructure, evenly dispersing the various parts of the alloy for the best effects.

This means 14Cr14MoVNb has optimized the crystal structure of the steel in order to balance sharpness and corrosion resistance without using too many rare metals. Combined with two sections of Stainless Damascus steel, the blade can be very resistant to corrosion. The blade core and protective sections combine for a total of 73 layers.

The edge is on the higher side of hardness. The edge ranges from 62-64 on the Rockwell scale. This allows for a very sharp blade but also means it runs a higher risk of chipping. The chipping risk is mitigated by the Powder Steel structure, but will still be harder to sharpen when it gets dull.

The handle is made of G10 colored to look like Wood and mirrors the Damascus pattern on the blade. Ergonomically designed to allow for hours of use, the handles comfortably sit in your hand.

The Damascus Chef Knife has a 8.5 inch or 215.9 mm blade and is the primary cutting tool of your kitchen. Meat, vegetables, fruits, steel-nakiri-knife

and everything short of cutting bone are within the capabilities of your chef knife.

This Damascus Steel Chef Knife just might become your favorite kitchen knife. The Best Damascus Chef knife is the one in your kitchen!
