Description: This exquisite chef's knife was created by Forged in Fire winner, Jordan LaMothe. Twenty-four year old Jordan works in a coal forge on his family's farm in Hebron, NY. His tremendous attention to detail is matched by his exquisite understanding of chef's knives.
Chef's knives are the general purpose knife in the kitchen. From slicing tomatoes to chopping onions, this knife will get the task done perfectly. It is sure to be a kitchen favorite.
The 8 inch blade was forged to shape from high performing 80CrV2 carbon steel. Because this knife is forged from carbon steels, we recommend using camellia oil to avoid rust. By forging the blade closely to shape, Jordan ensures a keen, long lasting edge with optimal grain refinement. The top of the side features an elegant brute de forge finish -- literally created with hammer blows. The spine is nicely chamfered for a comfortable pinch grip The flats feature an heirloom quality hand rubbed satin finish.
The handle is formed from stabilized spalted elm (Ulmus sp.).The mid-toned wood has elegant black spalting lines. It is beautifully hand contoured for a secure, comfortable grip. The stabilized wood will hold up beautifully to the demands of either a home or commercial kitchen. The front of the handle sealed with a phenolic bolster. A nickel silver spacer adds contrast.
The blade features a perfect distal taper keeping this knife nicely balanced and nimble. Exceptional work throughout!
