Description: Jerry Goettig, out of Bend, Oregon, makes an amazing culinary knife. Jerry has been making knives since 2010 and uses both stock removal and forging techniques. He is well known for his high performance chef's knives.
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 for slicing vegetables and meats. The gentle arch of the cutting edge is perfect for a rocking chopping motion with plenty of finger clearance over a cutting board. At 8-1/2 inches, this is among the most popular sizes for a primary chef's knife. It is large enough to get most any task done, yet short enough to do it with ease.
The blade is AEB-L stainless steel. Many knifemakers and metallurgists feel that AEB-L, with its small crystalline size, tremendous edge stability and toughness, is among the best stainless steels used in knifemaking today. AEB-L was developed for razor blades with a very fine grain structure making it easy to sharpen while maintaining good edge holding capabilities. The blade is convex ground for additional food release and chip resistance. Goettig heat treats his blades with a cryogenic treatment to ensure a high performing 63 Hrc. Both the spine and choil are nicely rounded for a comfortable grip.
Red and black Kirinite handle scales are set on the full tang for strength and durability. The handle is hand sculpted to swell at the palm to fill out the hand and provide a comfortable grip. Like other knives, this knife should not be put in the dishwasher.
Excellent work throughout!
