This chef knife is hand forged from my own blend of laminated steel; a mild steel jacket on either side of a high carbon steel core. The blade is forged a little thicker and heavier than most so it feels sturdy in the hand, but still thin behind the edge for cutting performance. The handle is made with apple wood and stainless steel. 
 
This blade is made with iron and carbon steel which, unlike stainless steel, is 'reactive'; this means the blade will develop a patina, changing the appearance of the blade surface as you use it (see T&C's). I prefer to work with high carbon steels over stainless steels due to their incredible edge retention and ease of sharpening at home, but they do require more care. 
 
This blade can rust if left wet. Handwash only
