Description: This chef’s knife was made by Colorado bladesmith Chris Losacco of Elemental Forge. Chris creates chef’s knives that elevate your cooking experience. He focuses on kitchen cutlery because it requires the utmost skill, patience, and focus to execute well. Everything he creates is handmade, so no two knives are ever the same. Losacco started making knives because he wasn’t satisfied with buying pre-designed products made from subpar materials. Once he realized he could make drastically better knives, he was hooked. Making hand forged chef’s knives quickly became a passion.
This knife will be a perfect 'go-to' knife in the kitchen. The 6-1/3-inch blade provides enough reach for most tasks while remaining nimble, light, and 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 from Losacco's own damascus, combining 1084 and 15N20 carbon steel to ensure excellent edge holding and chip resistance. The high contrast pattern forms an engaging chevron appearance moving across the blade. The blade is distal tapered for excellent balance. Losacco's touchmark is on the left side of the blade.
The handle is stabilized quilted maple. The convoluted figure of the wood nicely complements the damascus blade. The handle is sculpted to swell at the palm and provides a comfortable, non-slip grip. The front of the handle is sealed with an antiqued bronze bolster. Like other knives, this knife should not be put in the dishwasher.
The knife is accompanied by a tin of Elemental Forge wax to protect the carbon steel blade and wood handle. It also includes an edge guard for safe storage when not in use.
Exceptional work throughout!
