Description: C. Luis Pina is an exceptional bladesmith and specializes in kitchen knives. He apprenticed under Mastersmith David Lisch and previously shared a workshop with Mastersmith Mareko Maumasi. Luis' past career as a chef provides him with an understanding of chef's knives that is rarely found elsewhere.
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.
Pina hand forged this chef's knife beginning with 1080 and 15N20 carbon steels. The bold patterned damascus is immediately captivating. Because this knife is forged from carbon steels, we recommend camellia oil to avoid rust and oxidation. By forging closely to shape, he ensures optimal grain structure for a keen, long lasting edge. The blade is beautifully thin for clean, perfect cuts. An S-grind assists with perfect food release.
The presentation grade curly koa (Acacia koa) handle is inspired by traditional Japanese handles. The base is rounded. The top of the handle features octagonal facets. The wood is stabilized to make it hold up well to the rigorous demands of either a home or commercial kitchen. A front ferrule is formed from black paper Micarta.
Exceptional work throughout!
