Description: Francisco Vaz lives in Rio Grande, Brazil. He has been making knives since 2017 and is a master of chef's knives. Each knife that he creates is a handmade, high-performance work of art. He grinds all of his knives by hand without the use of jigs and believes heavily in making his knives by hand.
This high-performance 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 plenty of finger clearance over a cutting board. At 9-1/2 inches, this knife is long enough to get almost any task done in the kitchen.
The blade is CPM-MagnaCut stainless steel with a satin finish. CPM-MagnaCut is a new premium stainless steel created by Crucible with the help of professional metallurgist Dr. Larrin Thomas. MagnaCut combines the high toughness of CPM-4V with the corrosion resistance of CPM-20CV. This creates a perfect blade steel option for knives that need high toughness and great edge retention while still being easy to maintain. The blade has beautifully thin geometry for a high performance cut. The blade is slightly convex to help assist with food release without wedging. The spine and choil are rounded to prevent hot spots. Francisco's touchmark is on the left side of the blade.
The ambidextrous octagonal handle combines presentation grade snakewood with an Elforyn super tusk synthetic ivory bolster. The contrasting materials provide an elegant presentation. Black and white G-10 spacers finish the handle. Like other knives, this knife should not be put in the dishwasher.
Excellent work throughout!
