Description: Martin Huber hails from Austria and is considered one of the greatest chef knife makers from that region. His father, mother, and grandfather all had blacksmithing and metalworking experience, which led to Martin learning the trade at a young age. Martin took four years of formal blacksmith instruction in his hometown of Steyr, Austria, before opening up his own shop in 2016. Martin's kitchen knives have well-thought-out designs and efficient cutting geometry.
The hand forged damascus blade combines )2 and 15N20 carbon steels into a dramatic, high performance masterpiece. The forge finish along the spine will help with food release. Both the spine and choil are nicely rounded for comfort. A distal taper provides excellent balance in hand. This knife has beautifully thin geometry for effortless chopping.
The ambidextrous Japanese-inspired half octagonal handle is faceted at the top and rounded at the base. This shape is among the most comfortable of traditional Japanese handle styles. The handle is ancient bog oak. This wood was buried in a peat bog for hundreds or sometimes thousands of years. The extremely low oxygen conditions of the bog protect the wood from normal decay. At the same time, the underlying peat provides acidic conditions where iron salts and other minerals react with tannins in the wood, gradually giving it a distinct dark brown to almost black color. Like other knives, this knife should not be put in the dishwasher.
This is a knife you won't want to put down! It is sure to become a kitchen favorite.
