Description: Prior to starting Sea Rose Knifeworks, Sasha Rosenfeld was a professional cook in Seattle for 15 years. When he made the move from chef de cuisine to stay-at-home dad and part time prep cook, he began taking blacksmithing classing and began forging his first kitchen knives in his backyard while his daughter was napping. In the fall of 2018, Rosenfeld decided to step away from professional kitchens for good and opened Sea Rose Knifeworks.
This knife will be a perfect 'go to' knife in the kitchen. The 8-3/4 inch blade is a perfect size and shape to get most any task done exceptionally well. It is the classic and most used chef's knife size. A gentle arc to the blade's edge makes this a perfect knife for both a rocking chop and a forward slice. Whether chopping onions, slicing tomatoes, mincing parsley, or portioning and slicing meats, this elegant chef's knife is sure to become your 'go-to' knife in the kitchen.
The blade is high performing AEB-L stainless steel. AEB-L is ultra-high performance -- combining the convenience of stainless steel with the ability to take an acute edge and hold it (a characteristic usually only found in carbon steels). AEB-L steel was designed for razors, which need corrosion resistance, high hardness, and very acute edges. Once you try a knife that is made with AEB-L, you'll immediately understand why it is coveted by knife enthusiasts, knifemakers, and professional chefs. The resulting blade has an extremely keen, long-lasting edge. A Fujiwara-inspired finger notch encourages a pinch grip for greater control. The blade has thin geometry and will effortless slice and chop.
The handle is inspired by the Japanese ambidextrous octagonal handle and provides a comfortable grip. A column of maple burl is fit perfectly to a buffalo horn ferrule. Alternating stainless steel and black G10 spacers will help the natural materials adjust to humidity and temperature changes in the kitchen. Like other knives, this knife should not be put in the dishwasher.
Excellent work throughout!
