xElevate Your Kitchen Prep with the imarku Damascus 8-Inch Chef Knife
Designed for home cooks and seasoned chefs alike, the imarku 8-Inch Damascus chef knife blends traditional hand craftsmanship with modern steel science. The blade features a hand-hammered finish that not only looks striking but also helps reduce sticking during slicing, delivering clean, controlled cuts through a variety of ingredients. This knife is built to perform with precision, making everyday prep feel more effortless and enjoyable.
Precision Edge and Durable Build
The blade is crafted from high-carbon stainless steel and treated with a steel powder process that contributes to a hard edge. An impressive initial sharpness value of 110 places this knife among top-tier performers in its class, while an edge retention score of 729 means you can maintain accuracy across multiple meals. The combination supports a consistently smooth glide through meat and vegetables, with less drag on the blade surface.
For those who value a clean, flat cut surface, the mirrored blade work together with the unique dimple pattern to minimize food sticking and enhance transfer from knife to board. This means less effort when you’re prepping, whether you’re slicing a lap full of scallions or trimming a thick beef steak.
Material, Hardness, and Care
The blade’s high-carbon stainless steel base is further reinforced to achieve a hardness of HRC 62±1, balancing edge retention with toughness. This knife is designed to stay sharp longer in daily use and only needs periodic sharpening—roughly every three months under typical cooking workloads. The result is a reliable edge that translates to more confident, precise cuts over time.
Ergonomic Design for Comfort and Control
The handle uses FSC-certified wood and is shaped to fit comfortably in the palm, with an ambidextrous design that suits both right- and left-handed users. The ergonomic balance reduces fatigue during extended prep sessions, letting you focus on creativity in the kitchen rather than discomfort in your grip.
