When I find saw blades that aren’t suited for making chef knives, I turn them into something else. In this case, I blended a couple East TN sawmill blades to create a beautiful and tough damascus cladding that is painstakingly laminated over a virgin carbon steel core and copper liner. This striking material features a high contrast presentation finish that is sure to catch your eye. Thin behind the edge and easy to maintain, the blade is balanced with a tapered full tang clad in beautiful contrasting Koa & spalted maple.
