Forged at his Washington studio from a house-made formula of stainless cladding over a dense, darkly etched high-carbon damascus core, the 170mm \/ 6.6\" blade is honed to do it all, and do it with style.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003eFully convex symmetrical bevels slim to a hair-popping sharp edge that balances toughness and finesse as beautifully as we expect of this skilled bladesmith. Tall and robust in the rear, the mid-size profile performs beyond its size, moving through large dense ingredients with ease while the geometry slims steadily forward to a low, extremely fine tip built for the most precise slices and detail cuts. The rigid faceted spine and balance point half an inch in front of the choil offer the steady, natural feel in the hand the experienced chef will appreciate.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003eHand-sanded to a silky satin finish, the 420 stainless jackets display the recognizable fingerprints of carbon migration as cloudy areas just above the carbon-to-stainless transition point. The high-carbon damascus layers, by contrast, are etched to a dark, moody matte grey. In Straub's well-loved octagonal wa handle form, a gorgeous piece of Arizona desert ironwood is capped with a two-tone bolster of figured boxelder burl.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003eEasy to pick up, hard to put down.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Salem Straub - Washington","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54332198846739,"sku":"SST-HCK52","price":1950.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0735\/1749\/8643\/files\/santoku-bunka-salem-straub-washington-ironwood-damascus-bunka-170mm-1245940407.jpg?v=1782514988","url":"https:\/\/eatingtools.com\/products\/ironwood-damascus-bunka-170mm","provider":"Eatingtools","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
