Description: Argentinian knifemaker Mariano Yannoni is creating some spectacular knives. Born in 1974, Mariano is proud to belong to a generation that has brought back custom knifemaking to his country. Mariano studied under renowned master knifemaker Miguel Ángel Gugliotta. Yannoni's knives are expertly made and show a tremendous level of craftsmanship. He brings his skills to knives designed for the outdoors, daily carry, and the kitchen.
This compact knife is perfect choice whether filleting a trout, debreasting a bird, or general butchering and breaking down protein tasks. Whether in a professional kitchen or out in the field, this knife has you covered!
The upswept blade is san mai forged from 1095 carbon steel with 420 stainless steel cladding. A bright nickel layer in between makes for an elegant transition. The 1095 carbon steel core steel is etched to a dark tone and will have excellent edge holding while the stainless sides provides easier rust resistance.
The handle is Guayacan ebony. Guayacan ebony is the wood of the Guaiacum, a genus of shrubs and trees with several species indigenous to the tropical regions of Central and South America. Guayacan is the hardest and densest traded hardwood. It is so hard that it does not float in water. The hand stippled handle provides a comfortable grip. We recommend using camellia oil to care for the wooden handle and carbon steel blade.
To keep the knife close at hand, a hand stitched and tooled leather sheath is included.
Excellent work throughout!
