Description: Andreas Kalani creates knives that celebrate the natural beauty of steel. Within every one of Kalani's custom knives, are the elements of life lasting quality and performance. Andreas worked with Journeyman Smith Mike Tyre. He is a member of the Southern California Blades Knife Collectors Club, California Knifemakers Association and is currently working to achieve his journeyman smith credentials. Each unique knife made by Kalani is an extension of himself and his vision.
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 K-tip design provides a strong, detail-oriented tip.
Kalani began by forging the blade from high performance 1084 carbon steel, ensuring a keen, long lasting edge. Because this knife is forged from carbon steel, we recommend using camellia oil to avoid rust and oxidation. The top of the blade is forge finished and features an engraved honeycomb pattern. The lower half is hand satin finished.
The Natural Galaxy transparent handle combines resin with natural materials. Honeycomb, leaves, and a bee are preserved in hand poured and cured resin, then shaped to create a 'looking glass into a mesmerizing journey of the natural galaxy'. The faceted handle provides a sure comfortable grip and feels comfortable whether grasped by the handle or held in a pinch grip. Kalani's signature is signed on the tang of the knife. The brass bolster and a titanium spacer bring weight to the center of the knife.
The protective sheath combines a Kydex inner wrapped with leather.
Exceptional, artistic, unique work throughout!
