Twisted metal, precisely calibrated heat, focused blows of the hammer, and elements combined in new and unusual ways, blur the lines between art and science, between chaos and order. This one-of-a-kind chef knife from bladesmith Nick Anger embodies those attributes which make the marriage of form and function in a handcrafted culinary tool so special, so unique, and so captivating for us. A mosaic of house-made, carbon damascus patterns form the 238mm / 9.4" blade that stands 71mm tall at the heel. The handle, comfortable and natural in form as Nick's always are, is sculpted form boxelder burl and given a black micarta spacer.
