Berlin bladesmith Oliver Märtens consistently delivers a function first, uniquely designed, handcrafted chef knife time and time again, and this petit gyuto dressed in striking lacewood is no exception. Tapering from a 49mm tall, strong, and razor-sharp heel to a paper thin, needle-like tip, the versatile, perfectly sized blade is hand-forged from the durable and tough 1.2419.05 tungsten carbon steel that is Oliver's preferred cutting material. Light and fast in the hand, balanced just at the blade's choil, the knife is dressed in lacewood, tall, triangular, and tapered in form, comfortable and unobtrusive, completed with a faceted steel ferule with stepped-down heirloom fit.
