This stunning 190mm ‘forged to finish’ chef knife is forged with a damascus steel cladding but with the core steel (edge material) being in 26C3, also known as spicy white. 26C3 is a high performing knife steel that was originally developed for scalpels and razors but it quickly became the kitchen knife steel of choice for many makers and cooks for its high performance and edge retention. The stunning red like handle is out of a piece of wood taken from a WW2 trailer that was in service in Suffolk UK during the later part of the conflict. It is a beautiful piece of timber that formed the chassis of the trailer, but I have not been able to identify it as yet. The bolster is in african Blackwood and it also has a copper and brass mosaic pin just to bring a little bling!
This knife comes with a leather sheath (saya) to keep it safe in the kitchen or to pack for a camping trip. 👍
Overall length - 345mm
Blade length - 190mm (7.5”) with a distal taper on the spine from 3.8mm to 1mm (15mm before the tip) and a heal depth of 49mm.
Weight - 151g (210g with saya)
Hardness - 61/62 HRC (approx)
Steel - Carbon steel
NOTE - Carbon steel will patina over time so requires a little care to keep it looking at its best. I supply care instructions with every knife sent out.
