Forge Finish Chef w/ Buckeye Burl

Yes, a lean, sleek, high-carbon Chef's hand-forged from high-carbon 52100 round bar. I'm a sucker for forge-finished and this blade has plenty of texxeture and grit. The lower portion of the blade was hand-sanded to 800 grit. The handle is made from Buckeye Burl with a highly figured, deep grain.

I can custom-make one for this knife if you'd like to add a leather sheath. You can find that here. 

Note: The patina on a high-carbon knife is truly beautiful and unique, much like a snowflake—no two are alike. It's a sign of a well-used, well-loved knife. Over time, the blade will develop a natural patina and darken with use. However, be aware that it may stain if acidic food residue isn't promptly removed. Find care instructions here.
