Spectacular in every way, this mosaic damascus chef knife by Salem Straub features his new Spawn Chains pattern mosaic damascus, surrounded by a Fire pattern edge and spine. As with all kitchen cutlery from this Washington-based bladesmith, the edge is hard, especially thin, and razor-sharp, sitting below compound 'S-grind' primary bevels and a slim, flexible, distally tapered spine. Sculpted from green-dyed black palm, the handle features an heirloom-fit cymbal bronze spacer and through-tang construction with stainless steel nut visible at the end.
