Nguyen Ironwood Chef 240mm

Dressed in gorgeous, premium ironwood atop liners of black paper micarta in Don Nguyen recognizable handle style that combines purposefully placed lines, angles, facets, andfinishing touches, is a like-new, pre-owned chef knife of extraordinary caliber. Crafted for performance, this one-of-a-kind build out of Don’s Tuscon, Arizona studio features a long, elegant, satin-finished blade in 52100 carbon steel, shaped and balanced to be the go-to tool for daily meal prep in any kitchen. Quick in the hand and refreshingly lightweight for its size, the 240mm / 9.5″ blade stands 51mm tall at the heel, delivering a thin, razor-sharp, near-zero edge beneath wonderfully sculpted convex bevels. A full distal taper culminates at an incredibly slim and aggressive tip for all manner of precision slices. And each of these qualities exemplifies what Don is known best for: an uncompromising approach to his craft, from carefully planned, function-first designs, to a meticulous fit and finish, and lastly, a unique and striking aesthetic that chefs worldwide gravitate to.
