Description: C. Luis Pina, is an exceptional bladesmith and specializes in kitchen knives. He apprenticed under Mastersmith David Lisch. Luis' past career as a chef provides him with an understanding of culinary knives that is rarely found in other bladesmiths. His knives are hand forged and offered at a price point still approachable for professional chefs.
The damascus blade is forged from 1080 and 15N20 carbon steels to ensure excellent edge holding and chip resistance. The bold pattern damascus is immediately captivating and draws attention for closer examination. Because this knife is forged from carbon steels, we recommend camellia oil to avoid rust and oxidation. By forging closely to shape, he ensures optimal grain structure for a keen, long lasting edge. The blade is beautifully thin for clean, perfect cuts.
The bolster is integral to the blade, with the damascus pattern moving seamlessly from bolster to blade. This technique has superior structural integrity and requires a particularly talented smith..
The handle is inspired by the Japanese half octagonal handle. This ambidextrous style of handle is extremely comfortable. The spalted myrtle handle will hold up well to the demands of a professional or home kitchen. Stacked black G-10 and brass spacers finish the handle. Like other knives, this knife should not be put in the dishwasher.
Excellent work throughout!
