Description: This chef’s knife is made by Evan Davis (Enceladus Cutlery). Evan handcrafts his knives at his childhood home in the Santa Cruz Mountains. Davis’ knifemaking developed out of a drive to make things with his hands. The love of food and the pursuit of a better knife drove him to custom chef’s knives. Enceladus Cutlery is his passion project. He loves that a good knife makes you want to get into the kitchen and cut more veggies!
This is your primary chef's knife. Whether chopping, slicing, dicing, or mincing, this chef's knife will do it all. At 8 inches, it has a long enough reach for virtually any task, yet it is still easy to control. This knife is a perfect addition to your knife roll, whether you're a professional chef or home cook.
The blade was ground by hand from 52100 carbon steel. 52100 is considered by many knifemakers and knife users to be among the best steels (if not the best!) used in modern knifemaking. It combines exceptional edge holding with durability and ease of sharpening. The blade is nicely thin with a convex grind for effortless food release. A distal taper ensures perfect balance. The spine and choil are rounded for comfort.
The Japanese-inspired octagonal handle offers a comfortable, ambidextrous grip. The handle is curly nara wood (Pterocarpus indicus) set on black paper Micarta. Like other knives, this knife should not be put in the dishwasher. This knife is sure to become a favorite in your kitchen!
