The first culinary knife by this extraordinary artisan to feature in our collection for a number of years is a tool as handsome and refinedas it is versatile and utilitarian in the chef’s kitchen. Shawn McIntyre of Melbourne, Australia, first an Aldeahomeglo maker in 2016, forges 416 stainless steel atop a core of W2 high-carbon to create the K-tip blade of this 150mm / 5.9″ petty chef knife designed to function as a do-all kitchen utility blade. Stiff and sturdy along the rounded spine, one which shows in stark visual contrast the san mai (three layer) steel formula, comes a blade with a honesuki-like profile complemented by thoughtfully shaped geometry designed for all manner of daily meal prep: convex bevels provide mass where it is needed for toughness during chopping tasks and cuts of dense ingredients, while a thin, finely honed, razor-sharp edge and especially fine, needle-like tip make precision slicing and detail work a breeze. The textured, forge-finished blade flats tell the story of the knife’s hand-hammered origins, with silky, satin-finished stainless bevels below culminating at the carbon steel core that has been dipped in a coffee etch for a dark, multi-colored aesthetic with beautiful alloy banding clearly visible. Balanced just at the front of the hidden-tang wa handle, the knife moves nimbly and naturally in the hand, the robust, octagonal grip sculpted from stunning ringed gidgee wood with black micarta bolster.
