Description: Salem Straub is a bladesmith living in Washington State. He has a tremendous amount of skill at the forge and a great sense of design. This damascus chefs knife brings together his skills at their 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.
Salem began forging this chef's knife beginning with 1080 and 15N20 carbon steels. The fine patterned ladder damascus is immediately captivating and draws attention for closer examination. Because this knife is forged from carbon steels, we recommend using camellia oil to avoid rust. By forging closely to shape, he ensures optimal grain structure for a keen, long lasting edge. A convex grind ensures excellent food release.
The handle is formed from presentation grade stabilized redwood burl. It is nicely sculpted for a secure, comfortable grip. The stabilized wood will hold up beautifully to the heavy demands of either a home or professional kitchen. The handle is finished with an integral forge welded mosaic damascus jellyroll bolster.
This beautiful chef's knife is sure to be the one you grab for every time you're in the kitchen.
