A thin, stainless AEB-L steel blade, double cryogenically treated for toughness. Fully flat ground with a hand honed edge, this will be your go to slicer in the kitchen. The handle is made from stabilized maple burl with some purple and blue dye added to the stabilization resin. A micarta guard caps the burl with a stabilized and resistant material to defy food and acids. Light as a feather with a six inch, thinly ground blade, this pretty tool can get it done with a grin on your face.
