Hazenberg Honyaki Chef 183mm

An outstanding opportunity to experience bladesmith Jelle Hazenberg’s superb work, this pre-owned chef knife was used lightly by its first and only owner, and cleanedand polished from head to toe for this sale. With 183mm / 7.2″ of sharp, hard, and thin edge, Jelle’s convex bevel geometry, near zero edge, and full distal taper along the rounded spine to an extra fine, needle-like tip, come together to provide countless hours of cutting pleasure in the kitchen. A differentially heat treated carbon blade is polished and etched to reveal the beautiful, foggy honyaki finish, with a bit of scale and hammer marks present along the flats, a visible ode to the tool’s hand-forged origins. For comfort, control, and Jelle’s iconic stylistic touch, a handle has been elegantly sculpted to fit the hand like a glove from wenge wood that shows a natural pattern of color and grain that could be studied for days.
