Details

Designed with a broad cutting profile, the Timberfall Forgecrest™ offers the traditional appearance of a handmade Damascus cleaver.

The full-tang construction extends the blade steel through the handle, providing a continuous steel foundation beneath the wooden handle scales.

Its combination of patterned steel, natural wood, and practical dimensions makes it a distinctive addition to a handmade kitchen knife collection.

Hand-Forged Damascus Steel Blade

The blade is forged using 1095 carbon steel and 15N20 steel, producing approximately 280–350 layers.

These layered steels create the flowing surface patterns associated with modern forged Damascus blades.

The blade measures 7 inches and has a manufacturer-specified hardness of 54–56 HRC.

Because the blade is hand-forged, individual Damascus patterns may vary slightly from piece to piece.

Natural Wood Handle & Full Tang Construction

The natural wooden handle complements the Damascus pattern with a traditional appearance.

Full-tang construction means the blade steel continues through the handle area rather than ending at the blade shoulder.

Natural wood grain and coloration may vary, giving individual knives their own character.

Leather Sheath Included

A genuine leather sheath is included for protected storage.

Make sure the blade is completely clean and dry before placing it inside the sheath. For extended storage, periodically inspect the blade and avoid prolonged exposure to moisture.

Care & Use

Clean the blade after food preparation and dry it thoroughly. Avoid dishwashers, prolonged soaking, and abrasive cleaning products.

Because the Damascus blade contains carbon steels, apply a light coating of food-safe protective oil when appropriate to help reduce corrosion during storage.

Use a suitable cutting board and avoid striking bones, frozen ingredients, or other hard materials unless the specific edge geometry is confirmed suitable for those tasks.

Hand-wash and promptly dry the wooden handle. Avoid prolonged soaking and extreme temperature changes.
