Santoku - Maple Burl and Ebony

[Paul Baleta]

Hi Folks!

Here is the first of a few newly made kitchen knives I have to offer...

Santoku - a Japanese kitchen classic with a western twist. This Santoku has a double bevel edge (western style) and will suit a left or right handed person. The handle is a traditional 'Wa' style with bolster (front) in black paper micarta, a spacer in stabilized orange Maple burl in front of an oiled Ebony handle. The Maple wood has been stabilized and dyed in-house. The stabilizing process impregnates the wood with an extremely durable resin - this makes the wood virtually impervious warping or cracking, water resistant and a lot more hard-wearing than natural wood.

Absolutely beautiful ! The slightly upswept handle is a very nice touch.
