SHOP CASE KNIVESThe YARI Series 8-Inch Chef’s Knife is a refined tool that fuses traditional craftsmanship with cutting-edge materials. Designed for chefs who demand both precision and style, this knife stands out with its high-performance X-7 Damascus steel blade and elegant gray G10 handle. Forged from 67 layers of proprietary high-alloy steel, the blade showcases a dramatic Damascus pattern that isn’t just for looks—it signals the strength and edge retention this knife brings to every slice. With a Rockwell hardness rating of 60 ± 2, it delivers exceptional sharpness that holds up to daily use in demanding kitchens.
This full-tang knife is built for balance and control, offering confidence whether you’re using a rocking motion for herbs or a push cut through tough root vegetables. The 8-inch length hits the sweet spot for versatility, making it equally adept at breaking down meat, chopping onions, or slicing fruit with precision. The wider blade profile adds heft and helps guide clean, top-to-bottom cuts even through dense foods.
The octagonal gray G10 handle brings a touch of tradition while providing modern durability and moisture resistance. A red accent ring and mosaic rivet elevate the visual appeal, making it a showpiece as much as a workhorse. Each knife comes with a gray wood magnetic Saya-style sheath, custom-fitted to protect the distinct blade shape and add an extra layer of sophistication to your kitchen setup.
The YARI Series Chef’s Knife is a blend of form, function, and lasting quality—made to handle your everyday prep while looking good doing it. Order yours today from Smoky Mountain Knife Works!
