Description: Jerry Goettig, out of Bend, Oregon, makes an amazing culinary knife. He has been making knives since 2010 and uses both stock removal and forging techniques. He has quickly become well known for his high performance chef's knives.
This American-made chef's knife is a perfect choice as a primary knife in the kitchen. The long, deep-bellied blade is well suited for slicing vegetables and meats. The gentle arch of the cutting edge is perfect for a rocking chopping motion with plenty of finger clearance over a cutting board. At 6-1/3 inches, this is among the most popular sizes for a primary chef's knife. It is large enough to get most any task done, yet short enough to do it with ease.
The blade is formed from high performing AEB-L stainless steel. Many knifemakers and metallurgists feel that AEB-L, with its small crystalline size, tremendous edge stability and toughness, is among the best stainless steels used in knifemaking today. AEB-L was developed for razor blades with a very fine grain structure making it easy to sharpen while maintaining good edge holding capabilities. The high flat grind provides a very efficient cutting geometry. Goettig heat treats his blades with a cryogenic treatment to ensure a high performing 63 Hrc. Both the spine and choil are nicely rounded for a comfortable grip.
The handle is made from cocobolo (Dalbergia retusa). Cocobolo is a highly resinous wood and holds up exceptionally to the demands of either a home or commercial kitchen. The scales are set on a full tang for strength and durability. The handle is nicely sculpted for a secure, comfortable grip. Copper Loveless style rivets set the scales in place.
This chef's knife is perfectly balanced and will make chopping truly enjoyable!
