Exquisite in form and function, this 200mm / 7.8" chef knife forged by Nick Anger in homemade mosaic damascus stands 54mm tall at the heel, which also happens to be where you'll find the knife's balance point. Thin behind the edge and stiff at the spine with just enough 'give' to add a degree of versatility for demanding cuts, the blade is shaped and built for every task a discerning chef will perform. Beautiful and bold curly maple is separated from the integral bolster by spacers of black micarta and a dark, dyed and stabilized ring or boxelder.
