Professional Opinion
Layered Damascus steel gives the Phoenix its rippled pattern, and this model is the range's entry into that look at a gentler price. The 6.0-inch blade covers general cutting duties with ease. Hand-crafted and guaranteed for life, it lets a stylist move into Damascus without changing technique.
