Description: Jordon Berthelot is a knifemaker from New Braunfels, Texas and a member of the Texas Knifemakers' Guild. He has been making custom knives since 2018. He makes all kinds of knives from fighters, bowies, hunters, skinners and occasionally swords, but his biggest passion is high end kitchen knives. He enjoys incorporating carvings and grinds into his blades that are very unique. He also often prototypes new steels coming out of Baker Forge in the US.
This high-performance chef's knife is a perfect choice as a primary knife in the kitchen. The long, deep-bellied blade is a perfect general purpose chef's knife. Whether slicing, chopping, mincing, or dicing, this comfortable knife will do it all. The gentle arc of the cutting edge is perfect for a rocking chopping motion with plenty of finger clearance over a cutting board.
The 8.2 inch blade is Baker Forge DarkMai Coppermascus. An 80CrV2 carbon steel core is surrounded by alternating layers of blacked out 80CrV2 carbon steel and Coppermascus. The spine and choil are nicely rounded for comfort. The ridge along the top of the blade is hand carved by Jordan to help with food release. We recommend using camellia oil to protect the blade and wood handle.
The handle is dyed and stabilized maple burl brought to a high polish. A black carbon fiber bolster seals the front of the handle from water. The handle is sculpted to swell at the middle before moving into a slimmer waist and swelling again at the beak of the handle. This style of handle will remain comfortable even after hours of extended use. This is a knife you won't want to put down!
This knife includes a box, zipper case, microfiber cloth, and laser engraved certificate of authenticity with care instructions.
Excellent work throughout!
