JW SteelCrafts Handmade Damascus Kiritsuke Chef Knife – Full Tang Japanese Kitchen Knife with Raindrop Pattern and Olive Wood Handle
This handmade Damascus Kiritsuke chef knife gives precise and controlled cuts. The layered steel blade is strong and sharp. Its Kiritsuke shape has a straight edge and angled tip, perfect for push cutting, slicing, and detailed prep. The raindrop Damascus pattern forms naturally during forging, creating a durable blade with consistent edge performance.
The full tang runs through the handle, giving strength and balance. The olive wood handle provides a secure grip and natural moisture resistance. The steel bolster reinforces the handle and shifts balance forward, giving better control during long prep sessions.
This Kiritsuke knife is versatile. It handles vegetables, meat, and precision slicing tasks accurately. Many chefs use it with a Damascus petty knife for detailed work. It can also be paired with a handmade Damascus kitchen knife set for full kitchen prep.

Product Care for JW SteelCrafts Hand-Forged Products
To ensure the longevity and beauty of your hand-forged JW SteelCrafts products, follow these essential care instructions:
- Regular Cleaning
Wipe your knives, swords, axes, and rings with a soft cloth to remove dust and debris. For deeper cleaning, use a mild soap solution and a non-abrasive cloth. Avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasives that could damage the steel’s finish. - Dry Thoroughly
After cleaning, ensure your product is completely dried. This helps prevent water spots, rust, or corrosion, particularly on blades and steel surfaces exposed to moisture. - Proper Storage
Store your hand-forged products in a dry, cool place to prevent oxidation or rust. For long-term storage, consider applying a thin layer of oil (e.g., mineral oil or gun oil) to the metal surfaces, or using a rust inhibitor. When storing knives and swords, keep them in protective sheaths or pouches to prevent contact with other materials. - Avoid Impact
While designed for strength and durability, avoid dropping or striking your steel products against hard surfaces. This can cause damage to the blade, edge, or overall integrity of the piece. - Edge Maintenance (For Knives & Swords)
Periodically sharpen the blades to maintain their cutting edge. Use a proper sharpening stone or take your product to a professional for maintenance. Always sharpen in the correct direction to preserve the blade’s integrity. - Routine Inspection
Regularly inspect your products for any signs of wear, rust, or damage. If you notice any issues, reach out to us for maintenance, restoration, or repair services.
By following these care instructions, your JW SteelCrafts products will retain their craftsmanship, functionality, and beauty for years to come.
