Description: Up-and-coming knifemaker, Jordan Buckley, has tremendous attention to detail. Jordan (b. 2004) is a Washington native. His passion for bladesmithing is clear throughout all his knives. His work and aesthetic are tremendously refined despite having only been making knives for 5 years. Perhaps it is no surprise that he aspires to become a mastersmith by 25!
This high-performance chef's knife is a perfect choice as a primary knife in the kitchen. The blade is well-suited for slicing and chopping vegetables, meats, and more. The gentle arc of the cutting edge is perfect for a rocking, chopping motion with plenty of finger clearance over a cutting board. At 6-1/2 inches, it is a comfortable size for easy control, yet it will get almost any task done. This nimble knife is sure to become your kitchen favorite.
The blade is hand forged twisted Ws damascus, combining 1084 and 15N20 carbon steels. The complex pattern shows tremendous control in the forge. By combining bolder and finer patterns, Jordan draws your eye from a distance for closer examination. This high-performance damascus is tough, chip-resistant, and maintains a razor-sharp edge for a long time. The blade is ground beautifully thin for high performance and perfect cuts. The spine and choil are nicely rounded for comfort.
The handle is stabilized curly koa (acacia koa). This durable wood is found only on the Hawaiian Islands and is one of the most sought-after woods for knifemaking. The front of the handle is sealed with a black Micarta bolster. The handle is lightweight and very nimble, keeping the knife comfortable even after hours of extended use. This knife is sure to become a kitchen favorite … it is so comfortable, you won't want to put it down!
Excellent work throughout!
