Every year Damasteel (the makers of premium patterned stainless damascus) host a virtual chef knife invitational show. For the show they partner with Knife Talk podcast for a buildalong challenge where everyone starts with the same bar of steel and submits a photo to enter the competition. The 2025 parameters were to use a bar of RWL-34 stainless and a small piece of heimskringla pattern and this was my submission. This knife was the winner of Per’s Choice! I couldn’t believe it and I was so happy!
