Striking in every way, this 240mm / 9.45" chef knife by Joseph Schrum of Halcyon Forge boasts a D-shaped handle in scorched oak from a Maker's Mark whiskey barrel, with bog oak ferrule. Balanced and weighted beautifully at 6.8oz / 194g overall, the blade with S-grind geometry is thin at the edge and stiff at the spine, a perfect distal taper leading to a fine, needle-like tip. Forged from Joe's twisted pattern house-made damascus, the dark, silky finish combines with the comfortable, gorgeous oak handle to create a one-of-a-kind knife guaranteed to make any chef's day.
