Product Description
The largest athame in the range — 12 inches overall with a 7-inch double-edged blade cut with a deep fuller for balance and visual depth. A natural wood handle sits between a brass bolster and a gold-toned hand guard. Traditionally the athame is a ceremonial blade rather than a working knife, and this one is scaled and finished accordingly.

Is this knife legal where I live?
Knife laws vary by state, county, and city. It is the buyer's responsibility to confirm that this item is legal to own and carry in your area before ordering. You must be 18 or older to purchase.
Can I get it engraved?
Many of our blades offer custom engraving — look for the engraving option on eligible listings. Personalized engraving typically adds about 2 days before dispatch.
Care & Maintenance
Damascus steel is high-carbon and can spot or patina if left wet. Keep the blade clean, dry, and lightly oiled. Hand-wash and dry kitchen knives immediately after use — never leave them soaking or run them through a dishwasher.
Are these food-safe?
Our chef and kitchen knives are made for food preparation. Wash and dry each knife before its first use. Decorative swords and display pieces are not intended for food use.
