A mesmerizing 4-bar twist pattern in housemade damascus is shaped into a beautiful and versatile 215mm / 8.46" chef knife with a European-inspired profile. Using his well-trained eyes and intuition Nick Anger forges each integral blade at his shop in Northern Vermont, heat treating, quenching and tempering to a finely tuned tool. This knife is thin and light in the hand, easily becoming a daily user in any kitchen. The stabilized, spalted maple handle shows very nice grain and is matched to a dyed maple bolster.
