I Made All These Knives for the Damasteel Chef Invitational

I'm giving you an exclusive look at all the knives I made for the Damasteel Chef Invitational 2024!
Damasteel® is the GOAT when it comes to Damascus steel. It’s got unmatched toughness, killer edge retention, and superior corrosion resistance, all while sporting those amazing patterns that make each knife a standout. It’s super clean, with no inclusions, making it perfect for serious kitchen work. Plus, it holds an edge better than most steels, so you can trust it to get the job done.

If you've ever wondered what makes Damasteel® so special or why it's the ultimate choice for chefs and collectors, stick around! Damasteel® isn't just any steel-it's a combination of cutting-edge technology and stunning Damascus-style patterns that make it a true masterpiece. It’s the top-performing stainless Damascus steel out there, thanks to its Hot Isostatic Pressed (HIP) Powder Metallurgy process, which gives it insane toughness, strength, and those beautiful patterns we all love.

4. Deba in Hugin™ pattern: Thick spine with a right-handed chisel grind. Great for fish heads or as an all-around cleaver.
5. Sujihiki in Forged Drakkar™ pattern: Lightweight, flexible slicer with a handle made from 5,000-year-old Bog Oak.
6. Paring in Vinland™ pattern: Classic 5” paring knife with a Claro Walnut handle and antique brass bolster.

Fantastic work.

[@georgemueller7398]

My two favorite knives are the Chinese Vegetable Cleaver and Nakiri. All of your knives are great looking. I eat a plant-blased whole food diet. So these would be perfect for me. Also they all look great.

[@KitchenKnifeGuy]

Love your set and great knives for Damasteel Invitational.

[@primeaux_us]

Thanks so much!

[@matsbartram7642]

are the single bevels really flat? or did you grind a slightly hollow 'uraoshi'? All knives are beautiful nonetheless!

[@primeaux_us]

Yes, they are mostly flat. They have roughly a 120" radius uraoshi from the 1 degree platen that I used to grind it on
