This chef knife is hand forged from laminated steel, layers of folded iron on either side of a Blue Super high-carbon steel core. This knife is light weight, ground very thin behind the edge for cutting performance. The handle is handmade using Poplar timber from Kent and a stainless steel cap.
 
This blade is made with high carbon steel and iron 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
