Bold and beautiful mosaic damascus in Joseph Schrum's new Kaleidoscope pattern will turn heads in this new chef knife from Halcyon Forge. For 225mm / 8.9", this carbon steel blade, forged from 1095 and 15n20 alloys, tapers outward from the handle and offers a thin edge and full convex grind in a beautifully weighted and balanced package designed for all variety of daily meal prep. And the handle is every bit as spectacular. Shaped from striking, brass wire-infused Thunderstorm Kevlar, the handle is faceted in a traditional, octagonal shape often seen in Joseph's work, with perfectly rounded and contoured edges, and capped with spacers of black G10 and brass, and a carbon fiber ferrule.
