Description: This is your primary chef's knife. Whether chopping, slicing, dicing, or mincing, this 8" chef's knife will do it all. At 8 inches, it has a long enough reach for virtually any task, yet it is still easy to control. This knife is a perfect addition to your knife roll whether you're a professional chef or home cook.
This custom chef’s knife was made by Seattle knifemaker Larson Made (Noah Larson).
The blade is san mai (three layers). Layers of stainless steel surround a V-Toku2 carbon steel core. A thin layer of nickel set between the two adds exceptional contrast. The result is the exceptional edge holding of carbon steel with significantly easier care. V-Toku2, the steel which forms the cutting edge, is a 'super-steel' created by Takefu, in Japan. Very high in carbon content (approx. 1-1.1%), this steel holds and takes an amazing edge. Because this knife is made from carbon steel, we recommend using camellia oil to avoid rust. The blade has a razor-sharp edge and will effortless slice and chop. The spine and choil are nicely rounded for comfort.
The Japanese-inspired octagonal handle offers a comfortable, ambidextrous grip. The handle is yew wood harvested in the Pacific Northwest in the 1970s. A Hassui ceramic wood finish seals the handle protecting it from water. The wood selected has a pleasant orange tone with darker figure moving throughout the wood. Like other knives, this knife should not be put in the dishwasher. This knife is sure to become a favorite in your kitchen!
