Description: This chef’s knife was made by Minnesota knifemaker Richard Patterson. It is from Richard’s benchcrafted line. Like his other knives, these knives are hand-built in his workshop, but are designed to be at a more accessible price point. He creates these high-performance chef’s knives to be daily workhorses for both professional chefs and home cooks.
This knife will be a perfect 'go-to' knife in the kitchen. The 8.2 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 AEB-L stainless steel. AEB-L is ultra-high performance -- combining the convenience of stainless steel with the ability to take an acute edge and hold it (a characteristic usually only found in carbon steels). AEB-L steel was designed for razors, which need corrosion resistance, high hardness, and very acute edges. Once you try a knife that is made with AEB-L, you'll immediately understand why it is coveted by knife enthusiasts, knifemakers, and professional chefs. The resulting blade has an extremely keen, long-lasting edge. 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.
Unique GripX handle scales are set on the full tang for strength and durability. GripX is a revolutionary rubber and resin composite unlike any material on the market. It is ideal for use on hunting knives, filet knives, kitchen knives, and your favorite EDC knife. GripX provides uncompromising grip in the most intense situations - completely waterproof, weatherproof and incredibly durable. The dramatic handle glimmers when turned in the light. The handle has cut facets that make this knife exceptionally comfortable even when used for hours at a time. Like other knives, this knife should not be put in the dishwasher.
Exceptional work throughout!
