Damascus Steel Chef Knife 17.5" – Antler Horn Handle, Oil Tempered HRC 58-60

At 17.5 inches overall with an 11.5-inch blade, this is not a knife for the average kitchen drawer. This hand-forged 17.5-inch Damascus chef knife is a statement piece — a collector-grade kitchen knife that combines the reach of a professional slicing blade with the visual drama of an antler horn handle and the flowing patterns of an oil-tempered Damascus blade heat-treated to HRC 58-60.

Antler horn is one of the most distinctive and sought-after handle materials in the world of handmade knives — naturally textured, warm in tone, and completely unique on every knife. No two antler horn handles are ever identical. Paired with a Damascus blade oil-tempered to HRC 58-60 for exceptional edge retention, this knife is as impressive in performance as it is in appearance.

Antler Horn – A Handle Unlike Any Other

Antler horn is naturally textured, warm in tone, and completely unique — the natural curves, color variations, and surface texture of antler horn mean that no two handles are ever identical. It is dense, durable, and provides a secure grip that improves with use. As a handle material, it is as much a collector's material as it is a practical one — the kind of handle that makes people stop and look every time the knife comes out.
