With a beautifully sculpted, comfortable, and unique Western-style hidden tang handle crafted from Martin Huber's homemade shredded carbon composite formula that includes brass shavings for a striking look, this go mai chef knife is light and fast in the hand. At 175mm / 6.9" long and 47mm tall at the heel, able to rock and chop on the board for days in a compact package perfect for smaller workspaces, the thin, hard, razor-sharp carbon steel edge is versatile and ready for all manner of daily meal prep. Clad in satin-finished stainless steel with a band of nickel surrounding the 1.2519 carbon core and a section near the rounded spine that boasts of the blade's hand-forged origins, this one-of-a-kind culinary tool is as stunning to look at as it is functional in the kitchen.
