Hyper-realistic product photography of a premium chef's knife, 8K resolution, professional studio lighting. 8-inch blade, VG-10 steel core with distinct 33-layer Damascus pattern, intricate wavy ripples visible along entire blade length. Blade has a razor-sharp, hand-finished edge with a visible bevel. Mirror-polished finish reflecting studio lights. Blade transitions smoothly into an ergonomic handle. Handle made of stabilized wood infused with deep blue resin, creating a striking marbled effect. Rich, warm brown wood grain visible through swirls of metallic blue resin. Handle shape contoured for comfort, slightly wider at the palm for control. Full tang construction, with the tang visible at the butt of the handle. Three brass rivets securing handle scales, polished to a high shine. Subtle logo etching near the blade heel, reading 'Smart-Edge'.

Lighting setup: Main light source from upper left creating a gradient along the blade, fill light from lower right to highlight Damascus pattern. Soft box reflection visible on polished blade surface. Background: Clean, minimalist white backdrop fading to light grey at the edges. Composition: Knife angled at 30 degrees to the camera, tip pointing to upper right corner. Sheath parallel to knife, slightly behind.
