Ammonites, with their coiled, half-emerged profile, are natural subjects for inlay work, already resembling the kind of low relief a craftsman spends a lifetime learning to carve, a form while nature long ago perfected. This piece is one of three marking Ambrosini’s debut collection with Eatingtools.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe blade is built differently from its two siblings in the collection, \u003cspan style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/eatingtools.com\/products\/the-intruder-chef-256mm\" target=\"_blank\" title=\"The Intruder Chef\" rel=\"noopener\"\u003eThe Intruder Chef\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e and the \u003cspan style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/eatingtools.com\/products\/crowned-walnut-chef-223mm\" target=\"_blank\" title=\"Crowned Walnut Chef\" rel=\"noopener\"\u003eCrowned Walnut Chef\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e, as a monosteel blade in differentially heat treated 125Cr1 rather than house-made damascus. It’s etched and satin-finished to a high shine, the hardening process's quench line visible in the form of a foggy hamon along each face. Pronounced convexity runs through symmetrical bevels for cutting performance and food release, culminating at the thin, hard, razor-sharp edge. At the forward end of the spine's full-distal taper is a very fine, pointed tip, with almost no discernible flex along the blade.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe blade runs 165mm \/ 6.5\" long and stands 38mm tall at the heel, weighing just 184g \/ 6.5oz, light and nimble yet steady in hand.
