Cuisinier 8" Handmade Damascus Steel Chef Knife - Walnut
MK-19
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.

Care Instructions
1095 steel is a high-carbon steel and will rust if not dried and oiled after use. Hand wash only with soap and hot water. Dry completely before oiling.
This knife cuts anything like it's slicing through butter! I am extremely pleased with my purchase. The weight of the knife is great along with the way it feels in the hand. Wl definitely be purchasing another Forseti knife in the future.
This knife has a great weight to it. Super sharp and really it’s a beautiful tool to have around the kitchen!
It's decently balanced. The grain of the Damascus is in an orientation that I would assume would weaken the blade instead of strengthen it. It is completely vertical. Any bend in the blade would put stress on the welding.
The blade is also quite heavy and thick for a chef knife. This means it ends up taking more work to slice some things. At least I don't have to sharpen it as often.
It is a beautiful piece and is fairly comfortable in the hand. I do wish that the bolster was scalloped a bit to make the blade more comfortable to pinch across the bolster to blade transition.
I do like the knife, it falls a little short of perfect for me.
