Brut De Forge Ironwood Chef 220mm

Hold this Noah Vachon hand-forged chef knife and you won’t easily set it down. Cut with this tool, and you won’t need another. For allmanner of daily meal prep in kitchens large or small, professional or enthusiast, a 220mm / 8.7″ blade is shaped from 1080 high-carbon steel with a 62mm heel height, versatile, upswept edge profile to chop, slice, and dice, and a balance point just at the front of the bolster for a powerful, weighted, yet nimble feel in the hand. Thin at the edge beneath tall, convex bevels, combined with a nicely rounded spine that tapers steadily to a very slim, pointed tip, there is ample strength in the rear for the toughest cuts, and the precision at the far end for detail work, slicing, and everything in between. A steel finish that gets us every time; hand-sanded to a satin sheen and then etched to a subtle, forced patina for matte grey bevels below forged finished flats and a brute de forge integral bolster; displays all the artistic elements of the traditional craftsmanship and hand work that formed this stunning object. Meeting the bolster with stepped-down heirloom fit for comfort and control is a spacer of Crazy Fiber carbon fiber boasting blues, yellows, and greens, followed by a gorgeous piece of Arizona Desert Ironwood with color and grain to turn heads.
