HOSHANHO Damascus Chef Knife 8" Olive Wood Handle — 10Cr15CoMoV Core, 15° V-Bevel

HOSHANHO's 8-inch Damascus chef knife is a hand-polished kitchen blade that pairs a 10Cr15CoMoV steel core with an ergonomic olive wood handle for precise, durable slicing.

This chef knife blends traditional Damascus aesthetics with modern metallurgy to deliver a reliable all-purpose blade for home cooks and culinary professionals. Its layered Damascus surface conceals a hardened 10Cr15CoMoV core finished with mirror sharpening and a V-taper edge, while the olive wood handle is shaped for comfort during prolonged use. The result is a versatile tool designed to handle vegetables, meats, fish, and more with control and minimal fuss.

How sharp and durable is the blade for everyday kitchen tasks?

The blade is engineered around a hardened steel core and hand-polished Damascus exterior to balance cutting performance and long-term edge retention. A mirror hand-sharpened V-taper with about a 15° bevel per side produces a keen cutting edge suitable for fine slicing and heavier cuts alike.

• 10Cr15CoMoV steel core for hardness and wear resistance (around 62 HRC)
• Hand-polished Damascus finish that reduces friction while resisting corrosion
• V-taper, double-beveled 15°/side edge for sharpness and repeatable resharpening
• Balanced geometry for controlled cuts when chopping, mincing, or carving

What makes the olive wood handle comfortable and long-lasting?

The handle is crafted from dense olive wood chosen for its solidity, attractive grain, and resistance to wear. Ergonomic shaping reduces hand fatigue so you can maintain a secure grip in both home and professional kitchens.

• Dense olive wood with natural grain for grip and visual appeal
• Ergonomic profile to prevent cramping during repetitive tasks
• Sealed finish to help resist moisture and extend service life
• Well-balanced tang-to-handle ratio for stable handling

Which kitchen jobs does this chef knife handle best?

This 8-inch chef knife is built as a true multipurpose performer, suitable for everything from delicate slicing to breaking down larger cuts. Its length and edge geometry make it useful for vegetable prep, filleting, portioning meats, and general daily kitchen work.

• Precise vegetable and herb slicing thanks to a thin, sharp edge
• Clean, controlled cuts through boneless meat and fish fillets
