Description: Journeyman bladesmith Mardi Meshejian is best known for his highly original art knives. Over the last few years, he has been building exceptional chef's knives and has been developing a reputation among chefs for absolutely top notch work.
This chef's knife, with its long, tall blade is a perfect choice as your primary knife in the kitchen. Whether slicing onions, chopping vegetables, or portioning meats, this Meshejian gyuto is a perfect go-to knife in the kitchen.
The 8-3/4 inch long blade was forged to shape from 1080 and 15N20 carbon steels. The pattern pattern is a nice mix of fine and bold patterns. It is distal tapered for a perfect balance. Both the spine and choil are nicely rounded for a comfortable grip. A finger notch makes it easy to hold the knife in a pinch grip. The tall profile provides plenty of finger clearance over a cutting board.
The octagonal handle is inspired by Japansese chef's knives. It is made from a beautiful section of quilted cottonwood. A central anodized titanium pin reflects the anodized titanium ferrule.
Like other knives, this chef's knife should not be put through the dishwasher. We recommend using camellia oil to help protect the blade and rejuvenate the handle.
This is a spectacular chef's knife and it is sure to become a high performing kitchen favorite!
