{"product_id":"red-linen-french-chef-160mm","title":"Red Linen French Chef 160mm","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe latest exceptional kitchen cutlery creation from bladesmith Don Carlos Andrade is this Alsace-style French Chef Knife, made by hand at Andrade's Central California Coast studio. Crafted from 26C3 \"Spicy White\" low-alloy steel — prized for its fine grain structure and the striking, high-contrast hamon it reveals — it is ideally suited for culinary work requiring a razor-sharp edge and excellent resilience. Its 160mm profile, with assertive edge geometry and a tough, pointed tip, is designed as a hard-working utility knife for any chef's kitchen, shaped for versatility and years of uncompromising service. Don's outstanding freehand convex bevel geometry, pronounced, symmetrical, and beautifully executed, ensures durability, superior cutting performance, and clean food release even through the densest ingredients. The rounded spine tapers steadily forward, creating a dynamic blade that slims in all directions from handle to tip. Purposefully heat-treated and differentially hardened, Don then etches and hand-polishes the blade to reveal a graceful hamon line and striking two-tone finish.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe handle, carved in Don's hybrid wa-Alsace form, is sculpted from a striking piece of red linen micarta. Tapering from back to front and ending in a dropped finger guard, the top and side facets are finished to a high polish while the three bottom faces retain a subtle texture for a secure grip. A single, hand-peened and polished steel pin and Don's signature translucent green composite inlay complete the build, making it both instantly recognizable and truly one-of-a-kind. A custom cloth-covered saya is included.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Don Carlos Andrade - California","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54511363981587,"sku":"DCA-HCK83","price":2800.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0735\/1749\/8643\/files\/utility-petty-don-carlos-andrade-california-red-linen-french-chef-160mm-1252892382.jpg?v=1787331670","url":"https:\/\/eatingtools.com\/products\/red-linen-french-chef-160mm","provider":"Eatingtools","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
