Handmade Damascus Suminagashi San Mai 8.5″ Chef Knife.

This knife is available in either Exotic Woods, Native Ancient Irish woods or modern materials even carbon fibre. The knife is constructed using the Japanese technique of Suminagashi (floating Ink or ink marbling) giving the outer layer a texture with a San Mai (three layer) Construction. The outer layers of Damascus steel clad either side of the cutting edge (core). The San mai construction, a three layer of laminated steel, folded and forge welded over and over to give the Suminagashi effect. VG10 Steel core gives a high performance razor like sharpness. Easy to sharpen yet tough enough to with stand a professional kitchen environment. Each knife is handmade and finished to an extremely high standard in my forge/studio in Kilkenny Ireland.

Please allow 16 weeks for this product as each is knife is bespoke to you.
