Description: This exceptional chef's knife is the master work of bladesmith Kelly Dallyn. Kelly explains the maker's mark on his knives is his family's cattle brand, which has been passed down to his dad by his grandmother. He thought that when he started to make knives he would use something that stood the test of time to mark them. With this brand on his knives and the craftsmanship that he put into them, he knew they too would stand the test of time long after he is gone.
The blade is high performing S30V stainless steel with a hand rubbed satin finish. It is brought to a razor edge and has excellent edge geometry. A deep belly and a rounded heel are well thought out traits to Kelly's knives. Hand filework adorns the spine from tip to bolster.
The ironwood handle scales are dovetailed to the bolsters and have warm tones. The wood is secured by ten bronze pins -- resulting in a very strong handle and an attractive contrast. The 416 stainless steel bolsters are sculpted and polished for a perfect balance and an elegant appearance. Exceptional fit throughout.
