{"product_id":"amboyna-twist-bunka-182mm","title":"Amboyna Twist Bunka 182mm","description":"\u003cp\u003eArtist Lew Griffin of Galway, Ireland crafts artful tools for the hardworking kitchen because for the maker in him, the visceral reward in creating a one-of-a-kind heirloom is simply immeasurable. This singular piece, one of three from his Eatingtools debut, marries form and function exactly as Griffin intends.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003eTwo distinct damascus patterns, each uniquely complex in construction and visual character, combine to form a blade honed for uncompromising cutting performance. Through the forged integral bolster and forward through the blade's upper section, a densely twisted recipe of high-carbon alloys and pure nickel powder forms the first of two adjoining house-made billets. Within the compound bevel geometry's hollow portion, the twist damascus meets an edge bar of Griffin's bold mosaic, its lateral flow both contrasting and complementing the vertical motif above. It is precisely here, within the faces of the mosaic steel, that the symmetrical bevels transition from concave to convex, each nuance purposeful and with cutting performance in mind. Reducing friction and supporting food release along 85% of the blade, the hollow portion culminates an inch shy of the tip, ensuring toughness where it is needed most.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003eStiff and strong along the gently rounded spine, the blade is nicely weighted and naturally balanced in the hand. The tall heel, S-grind geometry, and fine needle-like tip come together to form a versatile cutter ready to be any chef's daily workhorse. Control over the hard, thin, razor-sharp edge is provided via a handle as elegant as it is comfortable: faceted, tapering damascus steel forms the bolster, which meets a recessed heirloom-fit ring of polished copper before giving way to a sculpted piece of amboyna burl, its grain a swirl of deep orange and red. From an Irish forge to your cutting board.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Lew Griffin - Ireland","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54270944608531,"sku":"LGN-HCK3","price":2600.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0735\/1749\/8643\/files\/santoku-bunka-lew-griffin-ireland-amboyna-twist-bunka-182mm-1243958981.jpg?v=1782407017","url":"https:\/\/eatingtools.com\/products\/amboyna-twist-bunka-182mm","provider":"Eatingtools","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
