Description: Washington knifemaker, Devin Rodrick, is a protégé of Mastersmith David Lisch. He brings tremendous skill at the forge with an exceptional fit and finish -- even more impressive considering his young age (just 20 years old in the summer of 2025!). This is as good as a chef's knife gets!
A chef's knife is the general-purpose knife in the kitchen. From slicing tomatoes to chopping onions, this knife will get the task done perfectly. This 8 inch chef's knife is long enough to prepare most anything.
Devin began forging this integral chef's knife, incorporating 1084 and 15N20 carbon steels in to a bold, captivating feather pattern. By forging closely to shape, he ensures optimal grain structure for a keen, long-lasting edge. The blade is beautifully thin with a nice distal taper for clean, perfect cuts. The spine and choil are nicely rounded for comfort.
The handle is integral to the blade, with the damascus pattern moving seamlessly from from the handle, through the bolster and into the blade. This technique has superior structural integrity and requires a particularly talented smith. The bolster moves into the contoured damascus handle. This is designed to be a counter balance to the blade while holding the knife comfortably in a pinch grip. This one-piece design makes the knife nimble and light, yet incredibly strong with no breaking failure points. We recommend using camellia oil to protect the knife from rust. Like other knives, this knife should not be put in the dishwasher.
Excellent work throughout!
