13″ Cu-Mai Copper Damascus Chef Knife – Octagonal Resin Handle
13″ Cu-Mai Copper Damascus Chef Knife
Experience the artistry of traditional bladesmithing with this 13-inch Cu-Mai Copper Damascus Chef Knife. Handmade for professional chefs, home cooks, and knife collectors, it combines a striking copper-patterned blade with a colorful octagonal resin handle.
The blade displays flowing copper lines against a dark layered-steel background, giving every knife a distinctive appearance. Because each piece is handmade, the exact Damascus pattern, copper placement, resin colors, and finishing details may vary slightly. These natural variations make every knife genuinely unique.
Designed for Versatile Kitchen Preparation
Its broad chef-knife profile provides the reach and cutting surface required for everyday food preparation. It can be used for slicing meat, chopping vegetables, dicing onions, mincing herbs, and preparing boneless proteins.
The pointed tip supports controlled detail work, while the long cutting edge performs smoothly during push cuts, drawing cuts, and gentle rocking movements. The broad blade can also help transfer prepared ingredients from the cutting board to a bowl or pan.
Octagonal Multicolor Resin Handle
The handle features a premium combination of black, smoky white, turquoise blue, and deep red resin. Thin metallic spacers complement the warm copper lines in the blade and create a balanced, contemporary appearance.
Its octagonal shape gives the hand clear reference points for improved blade alignment and control. The faceted design is suitable for both right- and left-handed users and provides a distinctive alternative to conventional rounded kitchen-knife handles.

Care Instructions
Wash the knife by hand using mild soap and warm water, then dry it immediately with a soft cloth. Never place it in a dishwasher or leave it soaking in water. Apply a light coating of food-safe mineral oil before extended storage.
Copper can naturally develop a darker patina over time. This is normal and contributes to the blade’s individual character. Use a wood or food-safe composite cutting board and avoid glass, ceramic, stone, and metal surfaces.
