SHOP CASE KNIVESThe Benchmark Damascus Japanese Chef Knife brings rugged craftsmanship to the heart of the kitchen. Built for precision and power, this blade is more than just a tool—it’s a workhorse designed to handle serious prep with style and grit. Whether you're slicing, dicing, or chopping, this knife delivers the control and edge retention that seasoned cooks demand.
The 7.5-inch drop point blade is crafted from Damascus steel, known for its layered construction, exceptional strength, and striking pattern. Beyond its visual appeal, Damascus steel holds a keen edge and resists wear over time, making it ideal for the daily grind of kitchen work. The drop point profile offers a fine tip for detailed tasks and a broad belly for rocking cuts, giving it the versatility needed to handle everything from proteins to produce.
The handle is where this knife truly stands out. A blend of green, yellow, and maroon resin forms a bold, eye-catching grip that doesn't sacrifice comfort for looks. Contoured for a solid hold, the resin handle resists moisture and holds up well in a busy kitchen environment. Whether you're working long hours at the cutting board or just cooking up a weekend feast, the ergonomic grip gives you confidence and control with every slice.
Measuring 12.5 inches overall and weighing 14.4 ounces, this chef knife offers a balanced feel that’s heavy enough to power through thick cuts yet agile enough for precision work. It includes a black ABS blade cover for safe storage and transport, whether you're taking it to a professional kitchen or keeping it sharp in the home drawer.
