A really lovely knife this one, designed to do the heavy lifting in the kitchen with the least effort possible.
The front heavy blade, with forced mustard patina etched flats and satin bevels, assists with push cutting through even the toughest ingredients, whilst simultaneously a slightly upturned nose at the tip of the knife gives an excellent action for rock chopping through large amounts of prep at the back.
This knife has a reassuring weight to it at 285g which helps to transfer appreciable power into its cutting edge and huge knuckle clearance makes it a pleasure to use without your fingers banging on the chopping board.
Built to be a real workhorse on the chopping board with low bevels (actually 32mm/1.26") and a tough 1084 blade being the perfect accompaniment to that.Blade length is 182mm/7.2" so while perhaps not the longest blade on the rack this one makes up for it by retaining excellent control in the hand and enough heft for the most resilient of ingredients!
The handle is cross-cut curly flame Ovankol, a lovely timber I picked up a while ago from @feelgoodwooduk.
The pins are aluminium, as are the liners, which have been recycled after a previous life as my dad's ladder 🤫
*Since the blade is made from carbon steel it is NOT stainless and will build up a beautiful and unique patina with use. This blue, grey and black colouring will protect the blade from rust as it builds and acts as a record of all the things it has been through (literally)!
