Description: Prior to starting Sea Rose Knifeworks, Sasha Rosenfeld was a professional cook in Seattle for 15 years. When he made the move from chef de cuisine to stay-at-home dad and part time prep cook, he began taking blacksmithing classing and began forging his first kitchen knives in his backyard while his daughter was napping. In the fall of 2018, Rosenfeld decided to step away from professional kitchens for good and opened Sea Rose Knifeworks.
The 7-3/4 inch blade is a perfect size and shape to get most any task done exceptionally well. It is the classic and most used chef's knife size. A gentle arc to the blade's edge makes this a perfect knife for both a rocking chop and a forward slice. This knife is perfect for those that prefer a slimmer profile. Whether chopping onions, slicing tomatoes, mincing parsley, or portioning and slicing meats, this elegant chef's knife is sure to become your 'go-to' knife in the kitchen.
The blade is hand forged, high performing 52100 carbon steel. 52100 is considered by many knife makers and knife users to be among the highest performing steels used to make knives today. Because this knife is made from carbon steel, we recommend using camellia oil to prevent rust. A Fujiwara-inspired finger notch encourages a pinch grip for greater control. The blade has tremendous, thin geometry and will effortless slice and chop.
The handle is circassian walnut. Circassian walnut is world renowned for its beautiful color and figure, and is often the top choice for high quality gun stocks. Alternating stainless steel and G10 spacers will help the natural materials adjust to humidity and temperature changes in the kitchen. This is an extremely comfortable, light weight handle. You won't want to put it down, even after hours of use.
Excellent work throughout!
