Description: Acre Forge is a community of passionate, expert bladesmiths based in Portland, Oregon. From one-of-a-kind Signature knives to production knives designed collaboratively by their makers, they are committed to creating gorgeous, high-quality kitchen knives that chefs and home cooks alike can treasure for life. This custom chef's knife was made by Adam Andrews of Acre Forge. Adam has over 12 years experience as a knifemaker and particularly prefers to make Japanese-inspired knives.
The 7 inch blade is forged from Adam's own san mai combining a high performance 52100 carbon steel core with mild steel cladding. 52100 is considered by many knifemakers and knife users to be among the best steels (if not the best!) used in modern knifemaking. It combines exceptional edge holding with durability and ease of sharpening. A bright nickel layer in between provides a stunning transition point while helping prevent carbon migration. The spine and choil are nicely rounded for comfort. Adam's touchmark is on the left side of the blade and the Acre forge mark is on the right side.
The Japanese inspired ambidextrous octagonal handle is walnut wood. Red, yellow, teal, and green G-10 spacers separate the handle from the bolster. The front of the handle is sealed with a black G-10 cap which helps prevent water from getting in. Like other knives, this knife should not be put in the dishwasher.
Excellent work throughout!
