Our 8" chef knife in a hammered finish: the small dimples along the blade create air pockets so slices of potato, cucumber and cheese stick less. Underneath, 67 layers of Damascus steel around a VG10 core, and a black G10 handle with three rivets.

Why you'll love it

  • Hammered blade. Dimples reduce sticking when you slice starchy or wet food.
  • 67-layer Damascus, VG10 core. Up to 62 HRC hardness, edge at 12 to 15° per side, according to the manufacturer.
  • Black G10 handle. Triple riveted, full tang, grippy when wet.
  • The everyday workhorse. Chop, slice, dice and crush garlic with the flat.

What's in the box

  • 8" chef knife
  • Blade sheath
  • Gift box

Care: hand wash, dry right away, store on a block or magnetic strip. No dishwasher, no glass or stone cutting boards. Read the care guide.

Why more than a $30 knife?

  • The steel. 67-layer Damascus steel, VG10 core, hammered finish, as stated by the manufacturer. A hard core steel takes and holds a thin, fine edge.
  • Made to be sharpened, not replaced. A few minutes on a whetstone brings the edge back, again and again.
  • No risk to try it. Free US shipping, and 30 days to return it unused.
