Cuisinier 8" Handmade Damascus Steel Chef Knife
FS-1819
Regular price $128.99Since 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. Our Damascus steel chef knife handles also features our unique FS logo decorative pin.

Care Instructions
1095 steel is a high-carbon steel and will rust if not dried and oiled after use. Do not put in dishwasher. Hand wash only with soap and hot water. Dry completely after washing and before oiling.
I work in the restaurant biz, so I’ve owned a lot of different knives. I saw the price and style of this one and thought I’d give it a go. The packaging was great! It came in a nice wooden box with a coin keepsake. The knife is gorgeous. As soon as I picked it up tho, the handle was too narrow for me. Something you’d usually find on a pocket knife or something of the sort. I took it for a test drive and it came sharp! It just didn’t have a wide enough handle for my personal tastes. Too hard to stabilize and get straight cuts. It might be perfect for a home chef or what have you, but not someone that’s gonna spend hundreds of hours behind the knife. I’ll definitely keep it as a show piece to use occasionally when guests are over, but I won’t be taking this to work as my everyday carry.
Quality looks amazing. It's a gift, so it hasn't been used yet, but I think this knife will perform exceptionally. Got the Damascus chop sticks too. I take them to sushi joints and use them. Everything this company makes just looks amazing!
I like the Damascus pattern looks great. The handle on this knife ( In my opinion) is a little too small. Also make sure you oil the knife for storage or it will rust right away. Overall I'm a little disappointed with this knife.
After I dressed up the edge it will slice tomatoes with no effort at all. Nice Knife.
Almost too stunning to use! Well balanced and razor sharp. 11/10
