Burnt Oak Carver 264mm

We call it a Carver. Bryan Raquin calls it a sharp, highly capable tool hand-forged from 145sc (‘super clean’) small batch san-mai steel with wroughtiron cladding. What do you call it Razor sharp at the edge beneath high-polished secondary bevels which Bryan achieves on a progression of natural whetstones, complemented by kasumi-finished primary bevels where mild steel cladding culminates, and dark, forge-finished flats above, this 264mm / 10.4″ blade is ready to carve, slice, and serve with the best of them. Bryan’s fit and finish are superb, attaining wonderful balance and geometry in a knife designed to carve while giving it qualities which will allow for a variety of uses, including chopping tasks using the blade’s weight, and precise, delicate slices by way of the thin, near-zero edge. Comfort and control are provided with Bryan’s standard burn oak handle carved into a traditional, octagonal wa form.
