Experience the pinnacle of bladesmithing with the Arsons Custom Knife Full Integral Collection.

This Personalized Full Integral Keyhole Damascus Steel Kitchen Knife represents the highest level of forging complexity. Unlike standard culinary knives, this blade is "Full Integral," meaning the blade, bolster, and tang are precision-forged from a single solid bar of Damascus steel. There are no welds or joints, resulting in unmatched structural strength and perfect weight distribution. The handle features a sophisticated "Keyhole" design, where the premium Desert Ironwood handle material is meticulously fitted directly into the steel frame.

Personalized Custom Engraving

Transform this masterpiece into a bespoke culinary heirloom. Add a name, initials, or a special date to the blade, making it the perfect personalized gift for professional chefs, passionate home cooks, or culinary graduates.

Forging the Blade (58-60 HRC)

We heat, hammer, and fold the steel multiple times to form the characteristic Damascus patterns. It is precision-ground for symmetry and heat-treated to an impressive 58-60 HRC to achieve exceptional hardness, toughness, and edge retention.

Handle Construction

This highly difficult construction technique creates a seamless, flowing transition between the steel bolster and the glossy Ironwood. Because it is forged from one continuous piece of steel, the knife offers superior balance that practically rests effortlessly in a professional pinch grip.

Why This Knife Stands Apart

• True Full-Integral Forging (Not a welded bolster)
• Distal Taper: 2.5mm → 1.5mm for smooth slicing
• Perfectly balanced at the bolster for professional control
• Individually handcrafted – not mass produced
• Express DHL worldwide delivery

Honestly, the cutting performance is better than I expected. I've been using it for a month now and haven't had to hone it yet, which really proves that 58-60 HRC hardness. The Ironwood handle fits my hand perfectly, but the real highlight is the Damascus pattern—looks even better in person. Shipping was fast, too.

Beautiful knife. It required a little extra pressure on a super hard butternut squash, but for everything else (onions, steak, daily prep work) it slices effortlessly. I actually love the little ring that came with it, nice touch! The sheath is stiff at first but breaks in nicely over time.

I collect custom knives and the full integral bolster on this one is top tier. The fit and finish between the steel and the Ironwood are perfect. I got my name engraved and it looks incredibly clean and professional. Definitely my new main knife for daily kitchen work.

Got this personalized for my husband's birthday. He's obsessed with it! He says the weight balance right at the bolster is absolutely perfect for a pinch grip. It arrived just in time for the party, thank you for the quick delivery.

Solid knife. It slices beautifully, holds a great edge through heavy prep, and the leather sheath is high quality. The keyhole handle design is very unique and comfortable to hold for long cooking sessions. 5 stars.
