Big Ben - 6in (150mm) Damascus Petty Culinary Knife

“Big Ben” 6in (150mm) Damascus petty knife. One of London's most iconic landmarks has now been memorialized inside of this exceedingly British KRVR petty knife. The Elizabeth Tower which houses the notable clock stands in the clear resin at the butt of the handle, painted in the red, white, and blue Union Jack that is the pride of the Isles. Succeeding layers of blue and then red resin rise like a tide to meet the masterful works. A luxurious raindrop Damascus blade brings it all together. Includes the sleek walnut saya shown.

The blade is made from VG10 core hardened to 60 HRC. Multiple layers of stainless are forged on both sides of the blade that protect the core and result in the damascus layer pattern. VG10 is a high hardness stainless that doesn’t require the maintenance or care of a carbon steel. VG10 blades should be sharpened with a water stone, synthetic stone, or diamond. Do not use a honing steel on this blade. The edge angle is sharpened to 17 degrees and then stropped to a super sharp finish. The blade is 6” (150 mm) long, with a convex surface grind.⠀
