Handforged kitchen knife made in my little studio. Style: SANTOKU Multi-purpose kitchen knife. This means you can use them for just about every aspect of work in the kitchen. From mincing and chopping to dicing and slicing, a sharp and well-maintained knife can get the job done every time. Spine tapers from 3mm at heal to 2mm spine at the middle, 1,4mm just before the bevel starts on the tip. The thin grind means it will cut most of the veggies and meat super easily (won't wedge), but should not do deboning, cutting through bones or harder shells, different grind should be done for that. It feels like a laser cutting through stuff with almost no resistance. Handle: The handle is multi color-stabilized spalted birch, stabilized by me. The spacer is stainless steel. It's octagonally shaped. The finish is a mat (mixture of oils and waxes) Intended use: -mincing, dicing, and slicing Specifications; Overall length: 28 cm (11") Blade length: 16 cm (6.3") Handle length: 11 cm (4.3") Spine thickness: 3mm down to 1,4mm Weight: 147grams (5.2 ounces) Grind: Flat grind Steel: AEB-L (it's stainless steel but I found that a just bit stain/patina will develop) Hardness: 61 HRC Ballance point: at the handle If you are interested in a sheath for it, that is possible too. A wooden (Saya) or leather sheath is an option. I do offer lifetime sharpening. You send it back to me, I will also refresh (reoil, re-etch, re-sharp, etc.) the knife when back at the workshop.
