Here's a no-nonsense, yet upscale-feeling model I call the Sous Chef. This is a knife built for work, yet sporting nice materials and an elegant mien. The construction is very simple- a one-piece blade and bolster, married to a nice solid block of stabilized redwood burl. The steel is 52100 carbon alloy, forged and heat treated carefully to produce a nice, stable, fine grained edge.
This knife features a stingy bolster i.e., forged short to yield the benefits and looks of an integral without much in the way of added weight. The corners of the bolster, as well as the full length of both the spine and heel, are rounded for comfort. All steel is hand rubbed to 600 grit.
The handle is sculpted and given a super glue finish for some added stability and bling. It feels very good in the hand!
Cutting edge: 8-5/8
Total Length: 14
Total Weight: 6.5 oz.
Edge before sharpening: .005
Spine at bolster: .100
Heel height: 2
Asking price is $420, NOW SOLD. which will include insured shipping to the U.S.A. For international rates, please inquire.
A picture is worth a thousand words... so here's a bunch of them as well as a video! Thanks for looking.
