{"product_id":"ellis-moonlit-strands-chef-218mm","title":"Ellis Moonlit Strands Chef 218mm","description":"\u003cp\u003eCharlie Ellis hand-forges this damascus himself, carrying its flowing, strand-like pattern straight through the blade and into an integral bolster sculpted from the same steel. Like moonlight shimmering across the still surface of a resting water, silvery filaments drift across a blade left otherwise dark, quiet, and calm. This piece arrives to us pre-owned, like-new, and unused, a rare opportunity to bring home a piece of culinary art from a remarkable artisan who makes few knives each year. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMeasuring 218mm \/ 8.6\" from heel to tip and 354mm \/ 13.9\" overall, the blade carries a straight, harpoon-clipped spine to a fine point, a profile equally suited to finishing a dish tableside as it is to prep work in the kitchen. Standing 50mm tall at the heel and 4mm thick at the spine just above it, the blade tapers to a lean 1.5mm an inch from the tip, Charlie's compound grind thinning the edge to a confident, razor-sharp convex geometry built for clean food release without sacrificing control. A subtle lateral flexibility runs through the blade, adding a touch of give to the overall feel without ever compromising its strength.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe integral bolster, forged from the same striking high-carbon damascus, carries that mosaic of silvery strands straight into a detail-carved, highly contoured handle of purple quilted maple. Between wood and steel sits a stepped, heirloom-fit ring of purple-infused carbon fiber, a thoughtful detail that ties the handle's color back to the blade it's built around.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWeighing 258g \/ 9.1oz, the knife balances right where bolster meets blade, substantial enough for a feeling of unabashed power in the hand without ever feeling like a burden through a long prep list. It's a knife built as much to be admired as it is to be used, a piece that turns the cutting board into a working gallery.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Charlie Ellis - Indiana","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54696407171347,"sku":"PRE-HCK63","price":4500.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0735\/1749\/8643\/files\/chef-gyuto-charlie-ellis-indiana-ellis-moonlit-strands-chef-218mm-1258378474.jpg?v=1790873925","url":"https:\/\/eatingtools.com\/products\/ellis-moonlit-strands-chef-218mm","provider":"Eatingtools","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
