Description: Acre Forge is a community of passionate, expert bladesmiths based in Portland, Oregon. From one-of-a-kind Signature knives to production knives designed collaboratively by their makers, they are committed to creating gorgeous, high-quality kitchen knives that chefs and home cooks alike can treasure for life. This custom chef's knife was made by Adam Andrews of Acre Forge. Adam has over 12 years experience as a knifemaker and particularly prefers to make Japanese-inspired knives.
The blade is forged from Adam's own san mai, combining a 52100 carbon steel core with A203 steel cladding. Many knife users and knifemakers feel that 52100 is among the highest performing (if not the best!) steels currently used to make knives today. The blade has beautifully thin geometry for high performance cutting and slicing. The spine and choil are nicely rounded for comfort. We recommend using camellia oil to protect the blade and wood handle.
The handle is inspired by the Japanese ambidextrous octagonal handle. It combines dyed and stabilized curly mango with a light toned curly mango ferrule. A white spacer will help the wood adjust to humidity and temperature changes in the kitchen. This knife is lightweight and will remain comfortable even after hours of use. It is sure to become a kitchen favorite! Like other knives, this knife should not be put in the dishwasher.
Excellent work throughout!
