Description: South African knifemaker Nico Pelzer creates an amazing knife. When he told me he was creating some chef’s knives for us, I was extremely eager to see what he came up with. I wasn’t disappointed. This 8” chef’s knife shows all the refinement and skill of his precision folders, packed into a high-performance primary knife for use in your kitchen.
This knife will be a perfect 'go-to' knife in the kitchen. The 8 inch blade provides plenty of reach, while still being easy to control. A gentle arc to the blade's edge makes this a perfect knife for both a rocking chop and a forward slice. Whether chopping onions, slicing tomatoes, mincing parsley, or portioning and slicing meats, this elegant chef's knife is sure to become a favorite in your kitchen.
The blade is hand-ground N690 stainless steel. N690 is created by Bohler in Austria. It takes an incredibly sharp edge and holds onto it. Increased toughness gives it better resistance to edge chipping. It features a high flat grind for effortless cuts. The blade features a brushed black finish. The swedge is hand satin finished for contrast.
Red Bushwillow handle scales are set on the full tang for strength and durability. Red bushwillow (Combretum apiculatum) has great figure and a nice dark, warm tone. The thin-profiled scales are comfortable in hand, yet keep this light knife nimble and easy to control.
Excellent work throughout!
