Shinobi Handmade Japanese VG10 Damascus Chef Knife - 12.5" Overall - 8.0" French Style Damascus Steel Blade, Stabilized Olive Wood Burl & Resin Handle, Brass Mosaic Pins, Full Tang Fixed Blade Kitchen Knife with Sheath, Pro Knife Sharpening & Personalization

Damascus Steel and Blade Detail

The blade is carefully crafted by combining 1095 & VG10 steel through a process of layering, forge welding, hammering, and shaping. This process creates a distinctive Damascus pattern across every blade, giving each Shinobi Chef Knife its own individual handcrafted appearance.

The blade is oil quenched at approximately 2100°F and rapidly cooled, with the process repeated twice to develop hardness throughout the steel. The finished blade achieves approximately HRC 62–65 on the Rockwell Scale for dependable strength, durability, edge retention, and cutting performance.

The 8.0" French-style chef blade provides a versatile cutting profile suitable for slicing, chopping, dicing, mincing, trimming, and general food preparation.

Scales & Handle

The handle is handcrafted from exotic stabilized olive wood burl combined with resin, creating a distinctive composite design with natural grain, depth, and color variation.

The stabilized wood is carefully sealed and finished to help reduce cracking, drying, and moisture absorption while preserving the character of the olive burl.

Brass mosaic pins add decorative detail while helping secure the handle construction. Full tang construction extends the blade steel through the handle for additional strength, stability, and dependable balance.
