9 Inch Chef Knife with 4 Inch Blade

This Damascus steel chef knife measures 9 inches overall with a 4 inch full tang blade. The blade is forged from 1095 and 15N20 high and low carbon steel with a twisted pattern. It reaches a hardness of 56 to 58 HRC after heat treatment. The handle uses natural buffalo horn scales secured with three pins and an inserting hole.

Full Tang Construction for Kitchen Use

The full tang blade runs through the entire 5 inch handle as a single piece for maximum strength and durability. At approximately 4 mm thick the blade resists flexing during cutting tasks. No sheath is included so separate storage must be arranged. High carbon steel requires immediate cleaning and oiling after each use to prevent rust.

For Cooks Accepting Carbon Steel Maintenance

This knife suits users who want a hand forged Damascus blade and can maintain high carbon steel properly. It is not for buyers who prefer stainless steel that resists corrosion without regular oiling. It is not for anyone needing a sheath included for safe storage. It is not for cooks unwilling to clean and oil the blade immediately after every use.

Questions about this item

How long will the 56 to 58 HRC edge hold up during extended prep sessions?

The 1095 and 15N20 Damascus blade is heat-treated to 56 to 58 HRC, giving it a hard edge that resists rolling through long cutting tasks.

Does the 4 mm Damascus blade get hot or slip during all-day kitchen use?

The full-tang construction and natural buffalo horn scales dissipate hand heat and provide a secure grip without the blade itself warming up.

What maintenance items do I need on hand before using this carbon-steel chef knife?

Keep cooking oil or food-safe wax and a soft cloth ready; clean and oil the blade after every use to prevent rust on the 1095 high-carbon steel.
