• Knife: Here's a very nice chef's knife for a great client, commissioned to his detail. The blade is very thin and hollow ground, a super blade for work in the kitchen, razor keen and highly corrosion resistant 440C, with a bright, smooth, crisp grind and polish that will be very easy to keep clean. He wanted filework just on the spine, so I chose a strong and detailed opposing crescent pattern. The tang of the knife is lightly tapered and smooth, mounted with 304 austenitic high chromium, high nickel 304 stainless steel for ultimate corrosion resistance and zero care. The bolsters are dovetailed and hold a pair of smoothly polished Australian Tiger Iron gemstone scales, which have beautiful bands of hematite, tigereye quartz, and red jasper. This is a rich, tough, durable gemstone material that has a great track record on my knives. The handle is a seamless blend of steel and stone, and very comfortable and light to the touch, with well-rounded contours and balanced weight. This is a knife that begs to be taken to the board for some quick prep work!
• Sheath: The sheath for this knife is double thickness kydex, a slip sheath to protect the knife and edge (and the owner) while in the drawer or in transport. It's assembled with kydex welts to protect the edge, and secured with nickel plated steel Chicago screws. It's a clean sheath that should last as long as the knife

Thanks, D. E.!
