Damascus Steel and Blade Detail

The Sterling features an 8.0-inch handcrafted Japanese VG10 Damascus steel blade, combining excellent sharpness, strength, durability, and edge retention with the distinctive layered appearance of Damascus steel.

Through the layering, forging, and finishing process, each blade develops its own individual Damascus pattern, much like a fingerprint. Natural variations in the pattern ensure that no two Sterling knives look exactly alike.

Designed in the classic chef's knife profile, the versatile 8.0-inch blade provides excellent control and cutting performance for slicing, chopping, dicing, mincing, and a wide variety of everyday kitchen preparation.

Scales & Handle

The elegant handle combines exotic olive wood and ebony wood, creating a striking contrast between the naturally figured olive wood and the rich, dark appearance of ebony. Natural variations in the wood grain give every Sterling handle its own distinctive character.

The handle is carefully shaped, finished, and sealed to help protect the natural wood against moisture, cracking, and drying while providing a comfortable and secure grip during extended kitchen use.
