The 'gorgon flower' mosaic damascus of Salem Straub's own design and making is nothing short of incredible. A one-of-a-kind chef knife handmade in Washington State by this talented bladesmith, the 227mm / 8.94" blade is thin, fast, light and flexible. Unmistakable in both appearance and use, the compound S-grind geometry is precise and superb. Gold-tinted carbon fiber is shaped in to a slim, tall and comfortable handle accented with stainless steel and dyed green burl.
