Our take on the Seido Knives Damascus Steel Chef Knife

The Seido Knives Damascus Steel Chef Knife is an 8.5-inch kiritsuke-style knife with a VG10 steel core clad in a Damascus pattern, hardened to 60-62 HRC and sharpened to an 8-degree edge. It has a full-tang build and an ergonomic, ambidextrous handle made of epoxy resin-stabilized wood in several colorways, and it ships with a protective sheath. The best new price is $26.95 at eBay as of November 5, 2026, with 2 stores listing it new. That price is far below what a VG10-core Damascus knife usually costs, so buyers should confirm the seller and the steel before ordering.
