Description: Mastersmith Kevin Harvey began this elegant chef's knife by forging his own ladder pattern damascus to shape. By forging the damascus from carbon steels, Harvey ensures a keen, long lasting edge.
The 5-1/2-inch blade ideal for preparing fruits, vegetables, and proteins. The wide blade keeps knuckles off the cutting board and is exceptionally handy when transferring cut food from board to pan. With its curved belly, this chef's knife can be gently "rocked" through fresh herbs or spices to produce a very fine mince. This integral chef's knife is a perfect choice for chopping and slicing and is sure to become a favorite in your kitchen.
Showing his mastery in the forge, Kevin forged the entire knife from a single billet of damascus. Creating a fully integral knife in a custom environment is tremendously difficult.
A distal taper to the blade provides optimal balance. The handle swells just past the ricasso, providing a comfortable, secure grip.
Kevin built a leather sheath for this kitchen knife to protect the edge while being transported.
Exceptional work throughout!
