This western style chef knife is hand forged from 80crv2 high carbon steel, with a handle of stabilized crows ash. It has been made with a semi integral construction to provide extra comfort to hand in gripping the spine of the knife, with a central balance. The blade is ground to perform gloriously in the kitchen, backed by one of the most well rounded and professionally heat treated steels on the market. 
The timber handle came from a local tree (Crows ash) that blew down in a storm in 2006 just down the street, and has been stabolised in cactus juice (a thin epoxy that is forced into the timber under vacuum) to provide extra durability for the long haul! 
 
This hand forged knife is designed to excell at all tasks cutting in the kitchen, with the intention of also bringing joy to the user through the act of cooking.
