{"product_id":"depth-perception-v-neck-chef-241mm","title":"Depth Perception V-Neck Chef 241mm","description":"\u003cp\u003eSalem Straub’s Depth Perception V-Neck Chef introduces something new to his lineup: a V-shaped forged integral bolster, the first of its kind we’ve to feature in our collection. The blade is forged at his Washington studio from CruForge-V and ProCut, two modern high-performance steels layered into a carbon mosaic damascus pattern that moves in dense, swirling lines across the surface, no two spots on the blade alike.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAt 241mm \/ 9.5\" with a 57mm heel, the blade carries Salem’s convex S-grind bevels down to an edge that’s thin, hard, and hair-popping sharp. The spine tapers from 3.5mm at the choil to 1.7mm an inch from the tip and further still before reaching a fine, pointed tip that sits low for detail work and delicate slices. A powerful, workhorse feel is balanced by just a touch of lateral flexibility in the forward half. Its versatile profile is designed to cut cleanly and release food easily, with geometry suited to the full range of what a chef’s knife is asked to do.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe handle, as expected from Straub, rivals the damascus blade in both beauty and braun: Arizona Desert Ironwood, dense and richly figured, set into Salem’s recognizable hybrid Western-wa form of flat facets and gentle curves. Where the blade meets the handle, that V-shaped bolster takes center stage, a sharp, deliberate wedge of wood rising into the same piece of damascus from which the blade is crafted.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Salem Straub - Washington","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":67630483276051,"sku":"SST-HCK55","price":4200.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0735\/1749\/8643\/files\/chef-gyuto-salem-straub-washington-depth-perception-v-neck-chef-241mm-1261630836.jpg?v=1791572316","url":"https:\/\/eatingtools.com\/products\/depth-perception-v-neck-chef-241mm","provider":"Eatingtools","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
