Titanium Damascus Kitchen Sword

This is no ordinary kitchen knife! 305x67mm blade made from Bakerforge copper damascus with a sculpted titanium damascus, stainless steel and sterling silver wire. The blade has been ground with great convexity and a wicked thin edge for food release with the added benefit of a fuller the performance with such a deep blade. I have etched the damascus and treated the copper to show a golden to red hue and add to the vivid display of colours.

The handle is fluted and wire wrapped titanium damascus. I flame tempered the titanium to bring out the colours and used sterling silver for the twisted wire. This handle is also a full takedown construction and can be disassembled by the bolt in the end of the handle. Being a solid titanium handle this does add to the weight of the overall knife though I have kept the balance as far forward as possible and the knife now pivots on the front of the bolster and gives incredible control over such a large blade. 

This knife was born through the challenge of working with these materials and making a knife that did both the materials and the effort of crafting them justice. It is a knife that demands attention and an audience.
