That's not a marketing number — it's the result of repeatedly folding and forge-welding high-carbon steel billets until the Damascus pattern becomes extraordinarily fine and complex. This \u003cstrong\u003ehandmade 13-inch Damascus kitchen knife\u003c\/strong\u003e is forged from 512 true layers of 1095 and 15N20 steel — a combination that delivers exceptional edge retention, outstanding toughness, and a Damascus pattern of remarkable intricacy.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe olive wood and epoxy resin handle brings warmth and visual drama to a blade that already commands attention. Olive wood is prized for its tight grain, natural oils, and the golden-brown tones that deepen with use. Combined with resin accents, the handle is as visually striking as the blade.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOverall Length:\u003c\/strong\u003e 13 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBlade Length:\u003c\/strong\u003e 8 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHandle Length:\u003c\/strong\u003e 5 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBlade Material:\u003c\/strong\u003e 512-layer Damascus steel — 1095 \u0026amp; 15N20 high-carbon construction\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHandle Material:\u003c\/strong\u003e Olive wood \u0026amp; epoxy resin\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eConstruction:\u003c\/strong\u003e Full-tang — maximum strength and balance\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eEdge:\u003c\/strong\u003e Razor-sharp, hand-honed\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch2\u003eWhy 512 Layers?\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eEach time a Damascus billet is folded, the layer count doubles. At 512 layers, the Damascus pattern becomes extraordinarily fine — the individual layers are thinner, the pattern more complex, and the visual impact more dramatic than lower-layer-count Damascus. The 1095 and 15N20 steel combination is a classic high-performance pairing — 1095 provides hardness and edge retention; 15N20 adds nickel for toughness and the bright contrast that makes the Damascus pattern visible.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eShort Description\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis handmade 13-inch Damascus kitchen knife features a 512-layer blade forged from 1095 and 15N20 high-carbon steel, an olive wood and epoxy resin handle, and a razor-sharp hand-honed edge.
