Brilliance Handmade Damascus Kiritsuke Chef Knife, 12.5” Overall, 8.0” Blade, Exotic Olive Wood Burl & Resin Handle, Brass Mosaic Pins, Full Tang, Kydex Sheath, Pro Knife Sharpening & Personalized Engraving
Damascus Steel and Blade Detail
The Brilliance Kiritsuke blade is crafted by combining 1095 and VG10 steel through repeated layering, welding, and hammering. This process creates the distinctive Damascus pattern across the blade, giving every knife its own individual appearance.
Damascus steel is valued for its strength, hardness, edge performance, and visual character. The blade is heat-treated to achieve approximately HRC 62–65 hardness, providing a dependable balance of sharpness, durability, and edge retention for professional kitchen use.
The 8.0-inch Kiritsuke profile offers a long, versatile cutting edge suitable for slicing, chopping, dicing, and precision food preparation.
Scales & Handle
The handle is crafted from exotic olive wood burl combined with resin composite, producing a striking blend of natural grain, color, and modern material.
The handle is sealed and finished to help resist moisture, drying, and cracking while preserving its appearance over time. Brass mosaic pins add an additional handcrafted detail and reinforce the full-tang construction.
