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.
The blade is high performing AEB-L stainless steel. Many knifemakers and metallurgists feel that AEB-L, with its small crystalline size, tremendous edge stability and toughness, is among the best stainless steels used in knifemaking today. AEB-L was developed for razor blades with a very fine grain structure making it easy to sharpen while maintaining good edge holding capabilities. The sides of the blade are deeply laser engraved providing an uneven surface to help food release.
The Natural Galaxy transparent handle combines resin with natural materials. Various floral plants 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. A paper Micarta bolster finishes the handle.
A stand handmade by Kalani is included to display this knife proudly whether in the kitchen or in a private collection.
Excellent work throughout!
