***Knives Ship on December 10th!***

This knife was made for anyone passionate about making good food. From head chef to home cook, it’s a workhorse.

The design is a hybrid of eastern and western styles, boasting the best of both worlds in ergonomics and performance. The faceted handle delivers unique and articulate control for a traditional pinch grip. While the handle's sloped back, paired with a curved finger catch, supports a more comfortable and relaxed grip. The flat heel lends itself to push cutting when needed, while the upswept tip enables for any rocking, chopping or mincing. More simply — however you grip and rip, this chefy will stay true to your style.

AEB-L High Carbon Stainless Steel Blade
This Tried & True stainless steel is tough stuff. The ideal balance of durability and edge retention, these blades are heat treated to 61 Rockwell. 

Blade Geometry
The geometry of the cutting edge has been designed to work with both rock/chop and push cutting preferences. A straight belly and firm heel for push cutting and an upward curve towards the tip is ideal for rocking. The blade also sports a distal taper, where the thickness of the blade is ground gradually to a fine point all the way from the handle to the tip and from the spine to the cutting edge. This attribute produces less drag on a thinner blade. 

Richlite™ Handle & Saya
Typically used for countertops as opposed to granite or quartz, Richlite™ serves as an insanely durable, sustainable, and water resistant handle material.
The saya is made of the same Richlite™ material and held in place by a brass Chicago screw. For the same reasons, it serves as an ultra protective cover if you are on the go. (Or, if you are a savage “knife drawer” person.) 

Our Signet Brass Bolster
While protecting the handle from liquids and food, the brass bolster also acts as the pivotal point of comfort and balance for any knife grip. 

Blade Care
Stainless is much more forgiving when it comes to moisture and maintenance, It still requires hand washing and most importantly, immediate towel drying. And please, no damn dishwashers!
