Hand forged at his shop in Ireland, Jelle Hazenberg normalizes the White No.2 and 22-layer damascus clad blade three times and quenches in water to provide a hardness of 63-64 HRC and a high-performance cutting edge to reap the best that this folded steel which he sources for his beautifully designed and superbly executed chef knives has to offer. At 193mm / 7.6" this is a larger blade from Jelle, tapering to an extremely thin and handily aggressive tip at a fast and light total weight of just 5.8oz / 164g, and dressed in a gorgeous blackwood & beech wood handle. A handmade leather sheath is included.
