This chef knife is hand forged from laminated steel; a mild steel jacket and a layer of bright nickel on either side of a 26c3 high carbon steel core. The blade is very thin behind the edge for cutting performance. The handle is handmade with Cherry-Plum from Norwood Cemetery and English Walnut with a thin nickel silver spacer. 
 
This blade is made with 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). 
 
This blade can rust if left wet. Handwash only
