Description: This exceptional chef's knife was made by Argentinian bladesmith Cristian Silva. It is a perfect size to use as your primary knife in the kitchen. The arc of the blade edge is perfect for a rocking chop. The slim profile keeps the weight low and the balance just right. Whether slicing, chopping, mincing, or dicing, this nimble chef's knife is a perfect choice.
The blade is hand forged C130 (W2) carbon steel. A differential clay zone heat treatment (called honyaki in Japan) ensures a keen, long lasting edge. This heat treatment technique was borrowed from the world of high-performance Japanese swords. The spine was coated in clay prior to quenching. The undulating heat treatment line shows the transition between the softer, supportive spine and the ultra-hard cutting edge. The blade is distal tapered for perfect balance and easy control.
The contoured handle is resilient black G-10. Red liners provide an elegant contrast. The tang is enclosed with black G-10, protecting it from the elements. The front of the handle is sealed with a carbon fiber 'bolster'
Exceptional work throughout!
