{"product_id":"windswept-chef-226mm","title":"Windswept Chef 226mm","description":"\u003cp\u003eLike grass bent low beneath a steady wind, or dunes shaped slowly by years of prevailing gusts, the natural rhythm captured in Andrés Maldonado's damascus is on full, mesmerizing display in the Windswept Chef. Forged by hand at his studio in southern Spain, Maldonado combines 1095 and 15n20 high-carbon alloys to produce a damascus steel pattern of exceptional beauty, shaped all the same for unconditional function in the chef's kitchen.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSuperbly finished with rounded edges and high-polished, hand-sanded satin bevels that allow the nickel-rich 15n20 to shine just so atop a canvas of dark 1095, the 226mm \/ 8.8\" blade is designed to do it all. Stiff, tough, and durable in the rear where a 55mm-tall heel is backed by expertly shaped convex bevel geometry above a very thin, hard, razor-sharp edge, the knife will chop for hours with ease. Moving forward, the spine tapers progressively and steadily resulting in a nicely balanced degree of lateral flexibility in the forward half, the mass at every point throughout its height continuing to thin as well. An inch back from a very fine, needle-like tip the blade measures just 0.8mm across, 1.4mm at the midpoint, and 2.2mm at the choil — an especially thin, light knife, weighing a mere 5.6oz \/ 160g.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAdding to the elegance and utility of the blade is a slim yet comfortable, voluptuously shaped handle that begins with a forged integral damascus bolster and ends with a striking piece of stabilized birch root, its teal-blue hues threaded through with veins of warm copper. The finishing touches include a brass spacer and matching, peened brass pin. Balancing a finger's width in front of the heel, this one-of-a-kind chef knife is as natural, nimble, and rewarding in the hand as it is to behold with the eyes.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Andres Maldonado","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54438143262995,"sku":"AML-HCK10","price":4000.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0735\/1749\/8643\/files\/andres-maldonado-windswept-chef-226mm-1250233805.jpg?v=1787591470","url":"https:\/\/eatingtools.com\/products\/windswept-chef-226mm","provider":"Eatingtools","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
