A chef’s knife is probably a cook’s most important tool in the kitchen. Highly versatile. This blade glides through meat, fish, fruits and veg with minimal effort. Make your own custom chef’s knife with this blank.

Our Zhen Hammered Surface Damascus Knife Blanks are forged in Japan utilizing years of knowledge and skill in knife making and technology and then imported to Taiwan. The blades are made by forge welding 66 layers of steel together around a single core layer of VG – 10 stainless steel (HRC60-62), which creates a high quality blade. Each blade has its own unique pattern on its surface and an edge that remains extremely sharp over an extended period of time. The hammered surface or tsuchime finish acts like a series of hollow-ground cavities while reducing drag, allowing the food to release from the blade surface while slicing. Designed with the professional cook in mind, this knife makes a great gift for the cook in your family.

Features:


  • Customize your chef knife blade by choosing from a myriad of woods to make the handle yourself
  • A workhorse in the kitchen, capable of taking on nearly any task

Notes:
