At 11 inches overall with a 6.5-inch Damascus blade, this is a straightforward, versatile kitchen knife built around a genuine bone handle rather than resin or wood. The off-white bone is finished with a steel bolster and mosaic pin detail, giving it a traditional look that pairs naturally with the forged Damascus blade.
The Twist Pattern Blade
Hand-forged Damascus steel in a twist pattern, hardened to a real working edge — 45mm wide and 4mm thick, sized for general kitchen prep rather than heavy chopping. The pattern itself comes from the forging process, not an applied finish.
Why Bone Over Resin or Wood
A genuine bone handle carries individual color and grain variation that no two synthetic handles share — it develops character with handling over time in a way resin can’t replicate. It’s a traditional material choice, and one this specific page is already earning real search demand for.
Half Tang, Sized for Everyday Prep
At 220 grams with half-tang construction, this is light and easy to handle for regular kitchen use — general prep, slicing, and the everyday tasks a chef knife actually gets used for most.
How to Get One
Every knife ships with a leather sheath built with belt space and is made to order, typically 5-7 business days before it leaves the shop. Because the bone handle is a natural material, expect individual variation in color and grain between pieces.

Frequently Asked Questions
Will the bone handle discolor or crack over time? With basic care — avoiding prolonged soaking and drying it promptly if it gets wet — a bone handle holds up well and tends to develop character rather than degrade.
Is this knife suited to heavy chopping, or more general prep work? It’s built for general kitchen prep — slicing, dicing, everyday tasks — rather than heavy chopping through bone-in cuts, which is what HM Knives’ dedicated choppers are built for instead.
How does bone compare to resin for a kitchen knife handle specifically? Bone offers natural, individual variation and develops character with use; resin is more uniform and slightly lower-maintenance. Both are durable choices — it comes down to preference.
Is the mosaic pin detail purely decorative? Yes — it secures the handle scales the same as any pin would, with an added visual detail.
