A 6-inch blade is the sweet spot for a small kitchen or smaller hands: it chops garlic and herbs, trims meat and handles most fruit and vegetables with the control of a paring knife and the reach of a chef knife. The BladeWave mini chef has a Japanese-inspired profile with a slightly flattened belly and a pointed tip.
Its etched fish-scale pattern reduces food sticking and gives the blade its distinctive look. Forged from 224 layers of Damascus steel with a high-carbon core for edge retention. The 5.1-inch handle is blue resin cast around stabilised wood, secured with polished rivets, and sits comfortably in the palm.

To preserve the beauty and performance of your hand-forged Damascus steel knife, follow these essential care tips:
Regular oiling is especially important for Damascus blades forged with high-carbon steel, as their layered structure and heat treatment make them exceptionally sharp but more reactive to moisture. Proper care ensures the blade remains rust-free and preserves the striking Damascus pattern for years to come.
We take great pride in the craftsmanship and quality of our knives. If for any reason you’re not fully satisfied, you have 30 days to return your knife — no questions asked.
From our forge to your kitchen, every blade is crafted with care — and we stand by that promise with pride and support.
