Description: Mastersmith Bill Burke's chef's knives are among the highest performing cutlery found anywhere. His heat treatment technique, combined with his choice of steel, results in edge holding that is far beyond other knives. This is a knife that you won't want to put down.
This high performance chef's knife is a perfect choice as a primary knife in the kitchen. The long, deep-bellied blade is well suited for slicing vegetables and meats. The gentle arc of the cutting edge is perfect for a rocking, chopping motion with plenty of finger clearance over a cutting board. Whether chopping, slicing, dicing, or mincing, this will be your go-to knife!
The damascus was hand forged from 1084 and 15N20 carbon steels, ensuring a keen, long lasting edge with exceptional beauty. The blade is distal tapered for perfect balance. The spine has been nicely rounded for comfort - even after hours of use.
The handle is inspired by a traditional Japanese handle called a half-round. The top features facets. The bottom of the handle is nicely rounded. This shape affords ergonomic control and comfort. This handle shape, while being different from Western handles quickly becomes a favorite. A black buffalo horn ferrule completes the handle.
The knife has perfect balance and feels exceptional in your hand.
