For those who prefer their knives on the large side, this master chef features a hand forged W2 high carbon tool steel blade with a 9.5 inch cutting edge at RC 63. The steel is differentially hardened with clay to achieve an extremely hard cutting edge and a tougher spine to back it up. Flat ground on the main bevel for cutting efficiency, it has a hand honed edge that will slice like a dream. The handle begins with a soldered nickel silver guard, followed by canvas micarta with a white spacer on the collar. An other nickel spacer separates the emerald green maple burl wood that forms the base of the handle. A nickel pin anchors the faceted handle to the tang.

A beautiful tool, made to enhance your time in the kitchen. Useful for general prep and chopping. Agile, sharp and beautiful.
