Increda Handmade Japanese Chef’s Knife - 13.0" Overall - 8.4" VG10 Damascus Steel Blade, Carbon Fiber Composite Handle, Full Tang Fixed Blade Professional Chef Knife with Leather Sheath, Pro Knife Sharpening & Personalization
The blade is carefully made by combining VG10 & 15N20 steel through a process of layering, welding, hammering, and shaping. This process creates a distinctive Damascus pattern across every blade, giving each Increda Chef Knife its own unique appearance similar to a fingerprint. Each knife is individually handcrafted and visually distinctive.
Damascus steel is known for its strength, hardness, and edge retention. The blade is oil quenched at approximately 2100°F and rapidly cooled, with the process repeated twice to develop hardness throughout the steel. The finished blade achieves approximately HRC 62–65 on the Rockwell Scale for dependable cutting performance and long-term edge retention.
The elegant handle is crafted from carbon fiber composite, selected for its lightweight feel, durability, and modern appearance. The handle is carefully fitted and finished to provide a secure and comfortable grip while complementing the balance of the blade. Full tang construction extends the blade steel through the handle for added strength, stability, and control.
HAND FORGED JAPANESE VG10 DAMASCUS STEEL: Made with hand forged VG10 & 15N20 Damascus steel at approximately HRC 62–65+ hardness, the Increda is designed for excellent cutting performance, edge retention, and durability. The layered steel construction creates the distinctive Damascus pattern that gives every blade its own individual handcrafted appearance.
ERGONOMIC & WELL-BALANCED: The 13.0" overall design combines an 8.4" chef blade with a carbon fiber composite handle for comfortable balance and controlled handling. The slim 1.5mm blade profile helps support smooth slicing and precision cutting while keeping the knife responsive in the hand.
ULTIMATELY DURABLE HANDLE: The carbon fiber composite handle is designed to provide a lightweight, durable, and secure grip. Its composite construction helps resist everyday kitchen wear while maintaining a modern appearance and comfortable feel.
