Description: This chef’s knife was made by Minnesota bladesmith Richard Patterson. It is hand forged and one-of-a-kind. His work focuses primarily on crafting culinary knives known for their clean lines, balance, and exceptional performance. Rich’s handle designs reveal his deep understanding of ergonomics, flow, and materials. His background in woodworking and electrical layout informs his attention to proportion and feel, resulting in knives that are not only elegant but perfectly balanced.
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 forged mosaic damascus, combining 1084 and 15N20 carbon steels, ensuring a keen, long-lasting edge with plenty of resilience. The pattern shows exceptional control in the forge. The nimble, flat ground blade has thin geometry and will effortlessly slice and chop. The spine and choil are well-rounded to reduce hotspots when used in a pinch grip. The blade is distal tapered, ensuring perfect balance.
The Australian blackwood burl handle is beautifully shaped for comfort, even when using the knife for hours at a time. Australian blackwood is a tremendously dramatic wood and is the same species as Tasmaniuan blackwood. The bronze bolster brings out warm tones in the wood.
Like other knives, this knife should not be put in the dishwasher.
This chef's knife is sure to become a kitchen favorite!
