Bold Weave Mosaic Chef 250mm

With three distinct steels, including two striking, in-house designed and made mosaic damascus patterns finished with a high contrast etch, comes the latest one-of-a-kind chefknife handcrafted by Niko Nicolaides in Detroit, Michigan. The blade, thin, light, and quick in the hand, especially for a 250mm / 9.8″ full-size chef with Niko’s usually superb convex geometry, is forged from his Bold Weave damascus with its recognizable crosshatch design above a solid piece of 1084 carbon steel to form the edge. A nicely calibrated degree of lateral flexibility is present throughout the front half of the blade as the spine tapers to a paper thin, needle-like tip perfect for the finest slices. At the opposing end, the Bold Weave pattern meats forge-welded integral bolsters of Niko’s Box Weave pattern for a striking aesthetic and beautiful detail. Merging with the faceted, octagonal bolster, Niko provides comfort and control with a wa-style handle sculpted from G.L. Hanesn & Sons rag G-carta.
