Description: Niko Nicolaides is an American bladesmith from Detroit, Michigan. He was originally trained as a machinist running CAD and CAM machines and also has a background in working in professional kitchens. He combines this history to create high quality, functional kitchen knives that any chef would love to own. Today, Niko is a full time knifemaker. He specializes in hand forged chef knives with integral bolsters and often works with beautiful damascus patterns. He is definitely a maker to keep an eye out for.
The chef's knife is sure to be a kitchen favorite. Whether slicing meats, chopping onions, or mincing herbs, this chef's knife will be a perfect choice to use.
This 7.1 inch blade is forged from Niko's own mosaic damascus, combining 1084 and 15n20 carbon steels to ensure excellent edge holding. The mosaic damascus pattern is extremely detailed and shows Niko's skills at the forge. The spine and choil are nicely rounded for comfort. We recommend using camellia oil to protect the blade and natural wood handle.
The handle is dyed and stabilized maple burl. The contoured handle fills out the handle and provides a comfortable non-slip grip. A carbon fiber spacer adds a nice transition between the integral bolster and handle. The slim handle will remain comfortable even after hours of use. This is a knife you won't want to put down!
Excellent work throughout!
