Description: Mark Mostert is an exceptional bladesmtih from South Africa. He started making knives part time in 2019 and presented his work for the first time at the 2020 Brooklyn Knife Show in Pretoria, South Africa. From the start, damascus caught his eye and he began a never-ending quest for information surrounding damascus and forging. As time went by, he started experimenting and is one of a very small group of bladesmiths in the world capable of making copper san mai. Mostert brings skills that are far beyond the limited number of years that he has been forging. His work is currently significantly underpriced and I look forward to him gaining a significant international reputation.
This K-Tip chef's knife shows Mostert's work at its best. Chef's knives are the general purpose knife in the kitchen. From slicing tomatoes to chopping onions, this knife will get the task done perfectly. It is sure to be a kitchen favorite. The K-tip provides a strong, detail-oriented tip. The 9 inch blade is long enough to get most anything done, while short enough to be easy to control. At just over two inches tall, there is plenty of finger clearance when working over a cutting board.
Mostert forged the mosaic damascus blade from 1084 and 15N20 carbon steels ensuring excellent edge holding and chip resistance. The complex mosaic pattern shows Mostert's skills at their best. The spine and choil are rounded for comfort. Mostert's touchmark is on the left side of the blade. We recommend using camellia oil to protect the blade from rust.
The handle is presentation grade stabilized amboyna burl, sculpted to provide a comfortable grip. It is nicely carved to swell toward the front of the handle, move into a slimmer waist and finally to swell again at the end of the handle. An antiqued brass bolster finishes the handle. This is so comfortable, you won't want to put it down!
Excellent work throughout!
