Curly Koa Damascus Kitchen Helper

Gorgeous natural grain and layered damascus steel define this Curly Koa Kitchen Helper by Martin Huber, a compact chef's knife built for the countless tasks between major cuts. Forged by hand from the Martin's own 120-layer carbon damascus, the blade brings the visual complexity we expect of his work, and the responsiveness needed for daily utility. A hard, slim, exceptionally sharp edge is paired with a tough, work-ready tip, allowing the knife to move easily from precise slicing and carving to light poultry work and controlled detail cuts. A deep etch through the convex bevels reveals the dense, flowing pattern of the damascus, while forge-finished flats preserve the texture of repeated hammer blows. Warm, richly figured curly koa shapes the handle, secured in full-tang construction with three micarta pins—balancing resilience, comfort, and quiet refinement in a tool meant to live at the chef’s side.
