Cu-Mai Copper Damascus Kiritsuke Chef Knife – Rosewood Handle

Cu-Mai Copper Damascus Kiritsuke Chef Knife

Bring distinctive bladesmithing character to your kitchen with this Cu-Mai Copper Damascus Kiritsuke Chef Knife. Its elongated culinary blade combines an intricate layered pattern, flowing copper detail, and pointed Kiritsuke-style profile with the natural warmth of a faceted rosewood handle.

The blade features circular and flowing Damascus formations extending from the heel toward the tip. A prominent copper-colored wave follows the lower section of the patterned steel, producing a warm contrast against the darker blade surface. Natural variations within the Copper Damascus pattern make every knife visually distinctive.

Kiritsuke-Style Culinary Profile

The long, narrow blade and defined point create a precise and versatile kitchen profile. This knife can be used for slicing meat, portioning boneless proteins, preparing fish, chopping vegetables, dicing onions, and mincing fresh herbs.

Its long cutting edge supports smooth drawing and push-cutting movements, while the pointed tip assists with controlled detail work. The blade’s relatively straight working section is particularly useful when making clean cuts through vegetables and other ingredients.

The combination of an expressive Cu-Mai pattern and practical Kiritsuke-style shape makes this knife suitable for experienced home cooks, professional culinary environments, and collections of handmade kitchen cutlery.

Faceted Rosewood Handle

The handle is crafted from rosewood, displaying warm reddish-brown tones and visible natural grain. Its long, faceted shape provides clear grip reference points that can help the user maintain blade alignment during cutting.

A darker wood ferrule creates a defined transition between the blade and rosewood handle. The contrasting woods complement the warm copper line within the blade without distracting from its detailed pattern. Because rosewood is a natural material, differences in grain, shade, and markings should be expected.
