Octad Japanese Damascus Steel 9" Chef Knife with Ebony Handle

In Asian tradition, the number eight is considered the luckiest of numbers, and is associated with prosperity and wealth. In some regional dialects, the word for eight and fortune are also similar. While our greatest interest is in good food, and the chefs that prepare it, we can also admit to being a little bit superstitious. You see, we recognize that a proper knife can quickly become a lucky amulet for any chef worth their salt.  Speaking of salt, we discovered that world renowned chef, Ranveer Brar, believes in dropping a pinch of it on the floor before cooking to bring him good luck. All of this makes us think there must be some truth to the ancient philosophy of luck and good fortune. For that reason, we are proud to present the Octad VG10 Japanese Damascus Steel 9" Chef Knife with an ergonomic octagonal handle made from classic, black Ebony Wood. This is a knife that every home chef would be lucky to have in their kitchen knife collection.  Overall Length: 14.5 InchesHandle Length: 4.5 InchesBlade Length: 9 InchesBlade Material: VG10 Japanese Damascus SteelHandle Material: Black Ebony WoodNumber of Layers: 67 LayersBlade Thickness: 2.1 mm
