{"product_id":"dense-twist-walnut-chef-228mm","title":"Dense Twist Walnut Chef 228mm","description":"\u003cp\u003eHoned from Damasteel's dense-twist pattern stainless damascus, produced in small batches in northern Sweden, Zach and Nick of Monolith Knives deliver a capable and versatile kitchen workhorse. The western chef's profile extends 226mm \/ 8.9\" in length and stands 56mm tall, providing a flat stretch of edge in the rear for fast and efficient chopping, followed by an upswept tip for long, precise slices and detail work. Rounded and polished, the spine tapers progressively from a strong and rigid 3.4mm out of the handle to 2.5mm at the midpoint, just 1mm an inch from the tip, and finer still for the most delicate cuts.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSteady and powerful in the hand, the knife balances just at the handle-to-blade transition, its 11.4oz \/ 322g providing a feeling of control and capability that a lighter knife cannot match. The freehand-ground symmetrical bevels are convex and dynamic from heel to tip, focused squarely on food release and cutting performance, tapering to a very thin, razor-sharp edge. The damascus pattern's organic aesthetic shines throughout.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe western-style full-tang handle is a pleasure to hold. Walnut sourced from Monolith's Virginia farm is secured by two flush brass pins that match the contoured brass bolsters, the dark wood and warm metal a classic combination that suits the blade's visual character without competing with it.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Monolith Knives - Virginia","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52820677853459,"sku":"MLK-HCK1","price":1825.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0735\/1749\/8643\/files\/chef-gyuto-monolith-knives-virginia-dense-twist-walnut-chef-228mm-1238232577.jpg?v=1786136350","url":"https:\/\/eatingtools.com\/products\/dense-twist-walnut-chef-228mm","provider":"Eatingtools","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
