The Gourmet Damascus Chef Blade Kit is a USA-made knife making project designed for craftsmen who appreciate traditional Japanese-inspired kitchen blades with premium steel and visual character. Forged from 416 layers of high-performance carbon steels, this Damascus chef knife blank features a hollow-ground edge and comes heat-treated, ready for finishing.
With a 7.375-inch blade and a full length of 12.25 inches, the Gourmet blade is ideal for slicing, dicing, and prep work in any kitchen setting. The 1.75-inch wide blade is ground on both sides and designed for balanced performance and clean, efficient cutting. The tang includes three precision-drilled 0.156-inch holes for handle pins (stainless pinstock included), and it can be modified for larger pins or threaded fasteners if desired.
This knife making kit includes only the blade blank and stainless pinstock. You can choose your own handle materials for a truly custom culinary tool—whether for your own kitchen or as a gift for a craftsman or chef.
