Description: C. Luis Pina, is an exceptional bladesmith and specializes in kitchen knives. Luis' past career as a chef provides him with an understanding of culinary knives that is rarely found in bladesmiths.
This high-performance chef's knife is a perfect choice as a primary knife in the kitchen. The blade is well suited for slicing vegetables, meats, and more. The gentle arc of the cutting edge is perfect for a rocking, chopping motion with plenty of finger clearance over a cutting board. At 9-1/4 inches, it is a perfect size for either the professional or home chef. This knife is sure to become your kitchen favorite.
Pina began forging this integral chef's knife beginning with 1080 and 15N20 carbon steels. The bold twisted mosaic explosion pattern damascus is immediately captivating and draws attention for closer examination. Because this knife is forged from carbon steels, we recommend camellia oil to avoid rust and oxidation. By forging closely to shape, he ensures optimal grain structure for a keen, long lasting edge.
The bolster is integral to the blade, with the damascus pattern moving seamlessly from the blade into the bolster. This technique has superior structural integrity and requires a particularly talented smith. Pina, who specializes in this technique is clearly up to the task.
The handle is stabilized teak burl. The hand contoured handle fills your hand and provides a perfect, comfortable grip. Alternating black G-10 and brass spacers finish the handle.
Excellent work throughout!
