Product Description
A hand-forged chef knife in high-carbon stainless steel, with a raindrop pattern running the length of the blade and a cream-toned wooden handle. High-carbon stainless is the practical middle ground: it takes and holds a keen edge like carbon steel, but resists the staining and rust that catch out carbon steel owners in a busy kitchen.
Product Highlights
- Forged strength — hand-forged high-carbon stainless steel for a sharp edge and superior durability
- Low maintenance — the stainless content resists corrosion, so it tolerates a real working kitchen
- Ergonomic design — wooden handle with smooth contours for comfort through long prep sessions
- Visual excellence — distinctive raindrop pattern across the blade, set against a warm cream-toned handle
- Safe storage — includes a premium hand-stitched box for storage and transport

Care Instructions
Stainless resists corrosion but is not corrosion-proof, and the wooden handle needs looking after too:
- Hand wash only, then dry promptly — dishwasher detergent will pit the steel and split the wood
- Oil the handle occasionally with mineral or food-safe oil to stop the wood drying out
- Store in a dry place, on a magnetic strip, in a block, or in the provided box
- If any light surface spotting appears, clean gently and dry thoroughly
Backed by our 100% money-back guarantee. Extremely sharp — handle with care.

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.
