Description: I was very excited when I was introduced to Dan Bidinger at 2019 Blade West in Portland, OR. Though Dan didn't have a table, his work spoke for itself. Bidinger brings a tremendous amount of skill, precision, and design to his knives.
This high performance 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 9-1/8 inches, it is a perfect size for either the professional or experienced home chef.
The blade is formed from high performing A2 semi-stainless steel. A2 combines high performance with some oxidation resistance. The thin convex grind provides a very efficient cutting geometry while adding food release. The spine and choil are nicely rounded for a comfortable grip. Because this knife is semi-stainless, we recommend drying it off after use. A hand rubbed satin finish lends an heirloom quality to this knfie.
The contoured handle combines burlap and green canvas Micarta with carbon fiber. The combination is extremely engaging and will hold up well to the demands of either a home or professional kitchen. The handle is beautifully shaped for a secure comfortable grip. Both the blade and full tang are distal tapered, ensuring a perfect balance. This is a knife you won't want to put down.
Excellent work throughout!
