A handcrafted chef knife designed for performance, balance, and everyday use in the kitchen. Forged from 80CrV2 high-carbon steel, this knife combines excellent edge retention, durability, and cutting performance with a distinctive handle built from stabilized maple burl and African blackwood.
Each knife is forged, ground, heat treated, and finished by hand in Wisconsin. No two knives are exactly alike.
Specifications
Blade Steel: 80CrV2 High-Carbon Steel
Blade Length: 7.6 in. (193 mm)
Overall Length: 13.1 in. (333 mm)
Blade Height at Heel: 2 in. (50.8 mm)
Handle Materials: Stabilized Maple Burl, African Blackwood, Nickel Silver Spacer
Balance: Slightly forward of the pinch grip
Included: Black velvet-lined corduroy storage case
Performance
The 7.6-inch blade provides a versatile balance between maneuverability and cutting surface, making it well suited for slicing, dicing, chopping, and general food preparation. The slightly forward balance point helps reduce fatigue during extended use while maintaining excellent control.
Care
80CrV2 is a high-carbon steel and will naturally develop a patina with use. This is a normal characteristic of the steel and helps tell the story of the knife over time.
Hand wash only and dry immediately after use. Do not place in a dishwasher.
Shipping
Free shipping within the continental United States.
