Xuan Yue 3rd Gen Copper Damascus Custom Knife

The Xuan Yue 3rd Gen is a stunning custom knife that reimagines Damascus artistry through the warm, earthy palette of Mokume-gane Copper Damascus – available with your choice of a carbon steel or stainless steel core for tailored performance. The 135 mm blade (33 mm wide, 4 mm thick) features an acid-etched and coated surface finish that accentuates the flowing, wood-grain-like layers of copper and other non-ferrous metals, while the core steel is heat‑treated to approximately 60 HRC for reliable edge retention. The handle is a study in natural elegance: desert ironwood provides rich, dark brown grain and exceptional durability, accented by shimmering mother of pearl inlays and finished with decorative brass mosaic pins that catch the light from every angle. At 260 mm overall, the Xuan Yue 3rd Gen is a harmonious blend of Japanese-inspired metalwork, heirloom-grade handle materials, and functional cutting performance – a true collector’s piece for those who appreciate the beauty of copper Damascus.

Because of this meticulous process, every ValorBlade is unique. When you hold one of our knives, you are holding a one-of-a-kind masterpiece that exists nowhere else in the world.
