The Viking Knife is a full-bellied, drop-point blade with a heavier spine than a utility knife and a shorter length than a chef knife. It sits between the two and does things neither does as well: controlled forward cuts through proteins that need both pressure and precision.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eA Profile Built for Protein Work\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe drop-point tip sweeps to a low point that lets you start a cut at the centre of a piece of fish or meat without the tip wandering above the surface. At 5.8 inches the blade is long enough to portion a full duck breast or score a pork belly in one stroke, but short enough to manoeuvre around cartilage and fat without overcommitting. The wide belly gives you a forward rocking option when you want it, and the flat section behind the tip lets you make controlled entry cuts without tearing.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003e67-Layer Damascus, Burnt Oak Grip\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe core is 10Cr15CoMoV high-carbon stainless, wrapped in 67 layers of Damascus and vacuum heat-treated to 60-62 HRC. The edge \u003cem\u003eholds\u003c\/em\u003e through a session of protein work where a softer steel would start skating across surface fat. Burnt oak with a red G10 accent ring gives you a stable grip whether your hands are dry or slick from handling meat. Full-tang construction sits the weight right on your pinch point so the blade doesn't feel tip-heavy through a longer portioning task.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBlade Steel:\u003c\/strong\u003e 67-layer Damascus with 10Cr15CoMoV core\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHardness:\u003c\/strong\u003e 60-62 HRC (Vacuum Heat Treated)\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBlade Profile:\u003c\/strong\u003e 5.8-inch Viking Knife, drop-point full-belly\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHandle:\u003c\/strong\u003e Burnt Oak with Red G10 Accent, full-tang\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eUse:\u003c\/strong\u003e Portioning fish steaks, scoring pork belly, trimming proteins, and any task where a compact but heavy-spined blade outperforms a utility knife.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSeries:\u003c\/strong\u003e Mo Series (X06)\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eModel:\u003c\/strong\u003e X06-WD\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eComplete Your Set\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePair it with other pieces in the Mo Series for a matching kitchen lineup that shares the same burnt oak handles, red G10 accent, and 67-layer Damascus build.\u003c\/p\u003e\n","brand":"Xinzuo Australia","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44212310376499,"sku":"X06-WD","price":86.95,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0668\/0441\/6563\/files\/58-viking-knife-mo-series-x06-7380837.jpg?v=1776673760"},{"product_id":"7-5-inch-viking-knife-ji-series-x08-wd","title":"7.5\" Viking Knife - Ji Series (X08)","description":"\u003cp\u003eReach for this when you want a blade that does the work of a chef knife but sits differently in the hand. The Viking profile is wider at the belly and heavier through the spine than a standard kitchen knife. It's designed for outdoor prep, camp cooking, or anyone who wants more substance under the grip when they're working through dense vegetables or breaking apart a rack of ribs.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eThe Viking Profile\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe 7.5-inch blade has more height through the midsection than a chef knife and a straighter edge geometry closer to a cleaver than a French curve. That width gives you knuckle clearance on the board without lifting your grip, and the spine thickness means it won't flex when you're pushing through a dense squash or a thick-cut pork belly. The core is 12Cr18MoV high-carbon stainless steel, wrapped in 67 layers of Damascus, vacuum heat-treated to 60-62 HRC.
