Description

A VG10 Damascus chef's knife for cooks who want clean slices through steak, fish and vegetables. The 240 mm blade holds a fine edge, and the stabilized wood handle makes it a knife worth setting out on the table.

Razor-sharp VG10 Damascus chef's knife with HRC60 hardness and a striking stabilized wood handle

Solves
  • Dull or inefficient cutting of meat, fish and vegetables
  • Need for a single versatile all-purpose kitchen knife
  • Bland kitchen tools lacking character

Cut every dinner cleanly with one razor-sharp knife

Stop sawing through steak and fish with a dull blade. This Damascus chef's knife slices through every meal with a clean edge and a wood handle you will want to show off.

A hard VG10 core under layers of Damascus steel

  • A hard VG10 core

    VG10 core steel rated HRC60 takes and holds a fine edge. The blade stays sharp through regular cooking, so steak and fish come apart in one clean pass instead of tearing. Keep it dry and hone it now and then, and it keeps cutting cleanly.

  • Layered Damascus finish

    Stainless layers are forged around the VG10 core and etched into a swirling pattern. The cladding gives the blade its finish and protects the hard core underneath. Each knife has its own pattern, so no two blades look exactly alike.

  • Stabilized wood handle

    The octagonal handle is made from stabilized wood with blue and amber grain, finished with a brass-style ferrule where it meets the blade. It sits securely in the hand for long prep sessions. Each handle carries its own grain, so the knife looks different from the next one on the rack.

Hardness, weight and thickness, on the spec card

  • 60 HRCblade hardness rating
  • 240 mmblade length
  • 250 gknife weight
  • 2.2 mmblade thickness

Three habits that keep the edge sharp

  1. 1
    Pull, do not saw

    Draw the blade through steak or fish in one long, smooth stroke. Let the length of the edge do the work instead of pressing down.

  2. 2
    Use a wood or plastic board

    A soft board protects the edge. Glass and stone boards dull a hard blade fast.

  3. 3
    Dry it and store it dry

    Wipe the blade after each use and keep it on a magnetic strip or in a sheath, away from the sink.

Dinner gets better when the blade does the work

The steak that tore instead of sliced

You have done it before. The blade drags, the crust crumbles and the meat ends up ragged on the plate. Every week of sawing through dinner makes cooking feel like a chore and the table feel less special.

A knife built for a clean edge

This knife starts with a VG10 core, the hard steel that takes a fine edge, wrapped in layers of stainless Damascus. The steel is rated HRC60, so the edge stays crisp through regular use and each pass through the meat is a single clean stroke.

Dinner that looks as good as it tastes

Fish comes off the board in neat fillets. Steak goes out in even slices. With a wood handle in your hand and a pattern on the blade that catches the light, the cooking itself starts to feel like the best part of the evening.

What to expect as you cook with it

  1. First use
    First clean slice through dinner

    Your first steak, fish or tomato should slice with less pressure and less tearing. The blade moves through the food in a clean line.

  2. 1 week
    Prep feels faster and calmer

    With regular use, chopping and slicing feel more controlled. Keep the blade dry and away from the dishwasher to hold the edge.

  3. 1 month
    The knife becomes your default

    With regular honing, most cooks reach for this knife first. The wood handle shows its grain more clearly over time.

  4. 3 months
    Edge and handle show the care

    With hand washing and occasional honing, the blade still cuts cleanly. A light coat of food-safe oil on the wood keeps its finish.

Hand-wash it and it stays sharp for years

  • Hand wash

    Warm water and mild soap, then dry right away.

  • Skip the dishwasher

    Heat, detergent and knocks dull the edge and dull the wood finish.

  • Avoid frozen food and bone

    Thaw first. Use a cleaver or saw for bone.

  • Store dry

    A magnetic strip or sheath keeps the edge safe and the handle dry.

Questions and answers

Is a stainless Damascus knife sharp enough for steak and fish?
w
Wanelo · seller

Yes. The VG10 core is rated HRC60, which is hard enough to take a fine edge and keep it through regular cooking. Pull the blade through steak or fish in one stroke and the cut stays clean. A whetstone will bring the edge back when it eventually needs it.

Is the 250 g weight comfortable for everyday chopping?
w
Wanelo · seller

For meat, fish and most vegetables, yes. The weight sits in the handle and the blade is a thin 2.2 mm, so it feels balanced rather than heavy. Cooks who spend long sessions on delicate vegetable prep may prefer a lighter blade.

Can I put it in the dishwasher, and will the wood handle last?
w
Wanelo · seller

No. Hand wash it with warm water and mild soap, then dry it right away. Heat and detergent dull the edge and dull the wood finish. Treated this way, the stabilized handle keeps its grain and the blade keeps cutting.

Is this knife a good gift for someone who already cooks?
w
Wanelo · seller

It is one of the few kitchen gifts that feels special without being fussy. The Damascus pattern, the wood handle and the product certificate make it a gift worth unwrapping, and a cook who already owns a set will still find a place for it.

How does it compare with the stamped knife I already own?
w
Wanelo · seller

A stamped knife is cheap to replace, and most cooks replace it every year or two as the edge fades. This knife costs more up front, but a hard VG10 core holds a fine edge far longer, so the cost per meal drops. You stop sawing through dinner and stop buying blades that dull in weeks.
