Blade: 10" raindrop damascus steel
Handle: 5.5" nickel silver, G10, and 35,000-year-old swamp kauri
The 10" blade on this chef's knife features one of my favorite damascus patterns, called raindrop for obvious reasons. Believe it or not--and this was entirely accidental--the steel actually spells out "MOM" about 1/3 of the way back from the tip, toward the spine of the knife. The handle is made from 35,000-year-old swamp kauri from New Zealand.
