This chef knife is hand forged from my own blend of damascus steel; alternating layers of mild steel and 15n20 with a thin layer of nickel on either side of a high-carbon low-alloy 1.2562 steel core. This knife has been ground thin behind the edge for cutting performance. The handle is made with cherry-plum and poplar, divided by a thin strip of nickel silver. 
 
This blade is made with carbon steels which, unlike stainless steels, are 'reactive'; this means the blade will develop a patina, changing the appearance of the blade surface as you use it (see T&C's). 
 
This blade can rust if left wet. Handwash only.
