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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eKiritsuke-Style Culinary Profile\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIts 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eFaceted Rosewood Handle\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCu-Mai Copper Damascus steel blade\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eElongated Kiritsuke-style culinary profile\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCircular Damascus pattern with a flowing copper line\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDefined pointed tip for controlled preparation\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFaceted natural rosewood handle\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eContrasting dark wood ferrule\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSuitable for slicing, push cutting, chopping, and mincing\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNatural blade-pattern and wood-grain variations\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eProduct Specifications\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003ctable\u003e\n\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth scope=\"row\"\u003eProduct Type\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eKiritsuke-Style Chef Knife\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth scope=\"row\"\u003eBlade Material\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eCu-Mai Copper Damascus Steel\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth scope=\"row\"\u003eBlade Profile\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eElongated Kiritsuke Style\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth scope=\"row\"\u003eBlade Tip\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003ePointed\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth scope=\"row\"\u003eBlade Appearance\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eCircular Damascus Pattern with Flowing Copper Detail\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth scope=\"row\"\u003eHandle Material\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eRosewood\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth scope=\"row\"\u003eHandle Profile\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eFaceted\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth scope=\"row\"\u003eFerrule\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eDark Wood\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth scope=\"row\"\u003ePrimary Uses\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eSlicing, Push Cutting, Chopping, and Mincing\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth scope=\"row\"\u003eBrand\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eSHAM KNIVES\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eCare Instructions\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWash the knife by hand with mild soap and warm water, then dry it immediately.
