Reach for this when a pork belly needs scoring or a thick salmon steak needs portioning and your chef knife feels like the wrong tool. 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.
A Profile Built for Protein Work
The 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.
67-Layer Damascus, Burnt Oak Grip
The core is 10Cr15CoMoV high-carbon stainless, wrapped in 67 layers of Damascus and vacuum heat-treated to 60-62 HRC. The edge holds 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.
