Description: Florian Stockinger is an Austrian bladesmith that has been making waves throughout Europe. His understanding of chef's knives is truly exceptional. His skill at the forge is combined with a tremendous sense of design. His work is heavily influenced by Japanese blade shapes and styles.
This 7 inch chef's slicing knife is perfect whether slicing fruits and vegetables or carving a roast or a turkey. choice for a general purpose knife in the kitchen. The slender knife is perfect for most any detailed work in the kitchen. It is accompanied by a leather sheath -- making it easy for the professional chef to keep it close at hand.
The blade is forged in a style called hon san mai. Layers of carbon steel surround a C105W1 carbon steel core. C105W1 is water hardening tool steel made in Germany. At 1.1-1.3% carbon and .15-2% chromium, it has slight oxidation resistance combined with carbon steel performance. We recommend using camellia oil to avoid oxidation over time. The blade is distal tapered for a perfect balance.
The thuya burl handle is nicely rounded. Sculpting at the front of the handle supports a comfortable pinch grip.
Exceptional work throughout! I can't say enough good things about Florian's artistry.
