Engineered for those who demand strength, beauty, and precision in every slice, the Cangshan Kuro Series 8" Chef's Knife is a kitchen workhorse with refined, handcrafted details. Whether you're tackling a mountain of prep work or handling delicate garnishes, this chef's knife delivers performance and control that rise above the rest.

The 8-inch blade is forged from premium X-7 steel and cloaked in 67 layers of flowing Damascus cladding. Each knife undergoes Cangshan's ULTRA6 heat treatment process to bring the steel to its peak performance—delivering exceptional hardness, edge retention, and lasting durability. Rated at ~60 on the Rockwell hardness scale, the blade maintains its edge cut after cut, making quick work of vegetables, meats, and herbs.

A full-tang construction ensures rock-solid stability and ideal weight distribution from heel to tip. The blade is hand-sharpened by master bladesmiths to a precise edge that glides effortlessly through both tough and tender ingredients. With the versatility to handle a wide range of kitchen tasks—from slicing onions to breaking down poultry—this knife is built to perform without compromise.

The octagonal handle is crafted from G-10 fiberglass for lasting resilience and comfort. Designed to resist moisture and withstand demanding conditions, it features a black and grey faux wood grain finish that adds a sophisticated edge. A single stainless steel mosaic rivet adds a striking decorative detail, underscoring the knife’s attention to craftsmanship.

Included with the knife is a magnetic ashwood sheath—an elegant yet practical addition that protects the blade whether stored in a drawer, carried to an outdoor cookout, or displayed on a countertop. The sheath’s strong magnetic interior holds the knife securely in place while showcasing the blade’s beautiful Damascus pattern.

A staple tool in any serious kitchen, the Kuro 8" Chef's Knife combines raw power with refined style. Its balance, edge quality, and rugged construction make it a trusted ally for both everyday prep and demanding culinary challenges. Order it today from SMKW!
