{"product_id":"silver-gorge-chef-220mm","title":"Silver Gorge Chef 220mm","description":"\u003cp\u003eBladesmith Silas Blacklow works in two disciplines at once: he forges the damascus and resulting blade, then turns an engraver’s hand to the steel and silver around it. Like his one-of-a-kind works of culinary art before it, the Silver Gorge Chef carries both sides of that practice at once, a blade folded down to near uniformity, and hand-carved details of delicate flowers atop lines drawn from the rock formations of a gorge near his home in upstate New York.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe blade itself is forged from 1084 and 15N20, folded so many times over that the two alloys have all but merged into a single field of grey, broken only by the occasional faint striation, a look closer to ancient bloomery steel than to the high-contrast damascus patterns more commonly seen. It's a simply sophisticated style of complexity, and one that will patina beautifully with use. Sharp and hard along the edge, the blade carries a pronounced convex bevel just above it, maintaining toughness and durability in a versatile, nimble profile. The spine is rounded and slims steadily in a full distal taper from the bolster to the tip, with just a bit of lateral flex through the forward half of the blade, enough to feel alive in a slicing motion without giving up control. Lightweight in hand, the knife balances just at the front of the bolster.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAt the wood-to-metal transition, a fine silver collar marks the line between the integral bolster and a handle sculpted from beautiful birch, finished with a silver pin. Set into the bolster’s hand-carved surface are three fine silver flowers, small, deliberate points of brightness against the surrounding stonework.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAn heirloom kitchen knife built to be held often, and looked at closely only when you choose to.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Silas Blacklow - New York","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52658516689171,"sku":"SBL-HCK16","price":2450.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0735\/1749\/8643\/files\/chef-gyuto-silas-blacklow-new-york-silver-gorge-chef-220mm-1266247999.jpg?v=1793897978","url":"https:\/\/eatingtools.com\/products\/silver-gorge-chef-220mm","provider":"Eatingtools","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
