Cuisinier 8″ Damascus Steel Chef Knife

Since the beginning of time a chef has been an esteemed position in our society. Whether a tribe, a family, or in a 5-star restaurant, the chef, or Cuisinier, has been able to sustain and woo us with their culinary skills. A “Cuisinier” is a French term for chef. We named this gorgeous Damascus steel chef knife Cuisinier because we felt it gave respect to the men and women who make cooking their profession or hobby. Our 8” handmade Damascus steel chef knife will reinvigorate your cooking. This knife is by no means a dainty tool. Weighing half a pound, it is a beast of a knife and will easily chop through vegetables with authority, while giving you enough heft to slice through meat and bone. Made of 1095 and 15n20 steels, the high carbon content of 1095 gives this knife and extremely sharp and durable edge and makes it the ideal choice for chefs around the world. High carbon steels are much easier to sharpen than stainless steel knives as well. Over time, your Cuisinier will take on a beautiful patina and will truly become a one of a kind piece of art that is completely yours. Cuisinier 8″ Handmade Damascus Steel Chef Knife Specifications
