Dressed in a gorgeous piece of bog oak, the slim, beautifully contoured handle transitions with a subtle step to the integral bolster of this elegant petty chef knife by bladesmith Robert Trimarchi of the.nine. The hand-forged W1 carbon steel blade measures 165mm / 6.5" long, a soft hamon appearing above the silky, hand-sanded bevels highlights the quench line. Thin behind the edge and light in the hand with a balance point just at the choil, this one-of-a-kind piece will make an exceptional knife for all small to medium size cutting tasks, with enough strength to hold up, and enough agility for precision work.
