Dark Matter carbon fiber is perhaps the pitch-perfect match to Don Nguyen's style: boundary-pushing, precise, high tech, and purpose-built. For his latest chef knife, the gorgeous material is Don's handmade material of choice. Sitting atop the tapered, full-length tang of the 52100 carbon steel blade, the recognizable lines and geometric shape of Don's handle provide comfort and control over the 213mm / 8.4" cutting edge. The edge, hard, thin, and hair-popping sharp, sits below satin-finished, convex bevels, shaped provide daily meal prep of ease and rewarding pleasures.
