Description: Jeremy Yelle is a 24 year old up-and-coming maker out of Quebec, Canada. His current focus is high performance kitchen knives, bowie knives, and hunting knives. He received his journeyman smith award at Blade Show 2022. His work is exceptional and he is sure to be a maker to keep an eye on. Lately he has been working on some high performance chef's knives and the results are wonderful!
This chef's knife is a perfect choice as a primary knife in the kitchen. The long, deep-bellied blade is well suited as a general purpose chef's knife. Whether slicing, chopping, mincing, or dicing, this comfortable knife will do it all. The gentle arc of the cutting edge is perfect for a rocking chopping motion with just enough finger clearance over a cutting board.
The blade is forged from Jeremy's own damascus, combining 1084 and 15N20 carbon steel to ensure excellent edge holding and chip resistance. The pattern is high contrast and extremely engaging. A forge finish was left on the spine to help facilitate good food release. The spine and choil are rounded for comfort. We recommend using camellia oil to protect the blade and natural wood handle.
The handle is a Japanese-inspired ambidextrous octagonal handle made from Arizona desert ironwood (Olneya tesota). Ironwood is a rare wood that is only found in the valleys of the Sonoran Desert below 2,500 foot elevation. It is among the most desirable of exotic woods used for knives. The front of the handle is sealed with a bolster made from stacked blue and black G-10. Like other knives, this knife should not be put in the dishwasher.
Excellent work throughout!
