13″ Copper Damascus Gyuto Chef Knife – Octagonal Resin Handle

13″ Copper Damascus Gyuto Chef Knife

Bring distinctive bladesmithing craftsmanship into your kitchen with this 13-inch Copper Damascus Gyuto Chef Knife. Combining an 8-inch culinary blade with a 5-inch octagonal resin handle, this handmade knife offers a versatile profile for professional chefs, passionate home cooks, and collectors of unique kitchen cutlery.

The blade displays dramatic copper-colored waves flowing through a dark Damascus pattern. These layered details create an eye-catching contrast extending from the heel toward the pointed tip. Because each blade is individually handmade, natural variations in its pattern and finish make every knife visually unique.

Versatile Gyuto-Style Blade

The 8-inch blade has a long cutting edge, gently curved profile, and defined point characteristic of a Gyuto-style chef knife. This multipurpose shape is suitable for slicing meat, preparing boneless proteins, chopping vegetables, dicing onions, and mincing fresh herbs.

Its pointed tip assists with controlled detail work, while the long edge supports slicing, push-cutting, and gentle rocking movements. The wide blade face also provides useful clearance above the cutting board and can help transfer prepared ingredients into a bowl or pan.

Octagonal Resin Handle

The 5-inch octagonal handle features deep black and warm reddish-brown resin sections separated by slim metallic spacers. Its faceted shape provides clear grip reference points, helping the user control the direction and alignment of the blade.

The combination of rich resin colors, geometric handle construction, and copper-patterned steel creates a refined artisan appearance. The handle can accommodate right- or left-handed use, making the knife suitable for different cooking styles and grip preferences.

Care Instructions

Wash the knife by hand using mild soap and warm water, then dry it immediately. Do not place it in a dishwasher or leave it soaking. Apply a light coating of food-safe mineral oil before extended storage. Copper can naturally develop a darker patina over time.

Use the knife on a wood or food-safe composite cutting board. Avoid glass, ceramic, stone, and metal surfaces. Do not use it to cut frozen food, strike bones, open containers, or perform heavy cleaver-style impacts.
