Description: Martin Huber hails from Austria and is considered one of the greatest chef knife makers from that region. His father, mother, and grandfather all had blacksmithing and metalworking experience which led to Martin learning the trade at a young age. Martin took four years of formal blacksmith instruction in his home town of Steyr, Austria before opening up his own shop in 2016. Martin's kitchen knives have well thought out designs and efficient cutting geometry.
The 7 inch blade is forged from Huber's own san mai combining a 1.2419 carbon steel core with forge finished cladding. 1.2419 is a low-alloy tool steel containing tungsten and chromium. It achieves a working hardness of 64 Hrc and maintains high wear resistance. This makes it an excellent steel for kitchen knives and outdoor knives. The forge finish will help with food release. The spine and choil are nicely rounded for comfort. We recommend using camellia oil to protect the blade from rust.
The Western style handle has Raffir Noble scales set on a full tang. Raffir Noble is a composite material with suspended fine bronze mesh. The strong semi-transparent resin fixes the mesh in position and improves the 3D depth effect. Raffir Noble has a unique, dramatic appearance with great strength. The handle is finished with white and black liners.
An edge guard is included to protect the edge when the knife is not in use.
Excellent work throughout!
