A classic HWF profile featuring myunique blend of flat & convex symmetrical grinds - thin behind the edge and easy to maintain. The tapered full tang on this versatile, slightly deep gyuto chefs knife imparts a balanced yet stout feel. Forged from contrasting high carbon steel alloys, known as damascus by many, the forging process creates a pattern unique to this knife, time and place that can’t be replicated, similar to to a fingerprint. This particular scene reminds me of the raging waters of the Nolichucky River that ravaged the area in late September 2024, when I started forging this blade.
