This chef knife is hand forged from my own blend of damascus steel; altenating layers of mild steel and nickel on either side of a 26c3 high carbon steel core. This knife is heavy weight, feeling substaintial in the hand but thin behind the edge for cutting performance. The handle is handmade from a beautiful piece of Hawthorn and Black Walnut with a copper spacer.
 
This blade is made with high 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. This blade can rust if not properly cared for. Handwash only
