Curly Mango Wootz Chef 175mm

The stunning pattern found throughout the blade forged of house-made wootz steel seems to mimic the natural grain and beautiful lines of the curly mangowood carved to form the handle of this one-of-a-kind Peter Swarz-Burt K-tip chef knife. Thin and razor sharp at the edge, the tall, 175mm / 6.9″ long blade is ideal for virtually every cut the kitchen can throw at it, no matter how small the workspace. For big utility in a compact package, Peter delivers convex bevels, a gyuto-inspired edge profile that can rock on the board, and a low, finely pointed tip for detail work and precision slicing. The spine and choil have been rounded for comfort in any grip, and a handle for control (and yes, exceptionally good looks), completes the package. In the traditional, octagonal wa form, the curly mango wood isdetailed and soft to the touch at each transition and paired to a solid, black micarta bolster, bookended by a red, eucalyptus inlay in the rear to cap the retention bolt that secures the knife’s hidden-tang construction.
