From bladesmith Nick Rossi of Maine, a stunning, darkly etched blade of low-layer twist carbon damascus steel delivers the combination of Rugged Utility and Contemporary Design that Nick is well known for in the realms of blacksmithing, and of course, the culinary arts. Balanced in the hand, keen and nimble on the cutting board, and built with heirloom quality for many, many meals to come, this hand-forged integral chef knife features a stiff, tapered, 190mm / 7.4" blade with gently curved profile and thin, sharp edge. Slim in the rear and sculpted to widen subtly toward the bolster, the incredibly comfortable handle is carved from classic linen micarta and features a spacer of beautiful, 200 year old red-dyed River Drive Maple.
