Description: Master Smith Aaron Wilburn, a long time maker of knives for the outdoor enthusiast, has expanded his focus to include culinary knives - creating high-performing kitchen workhorses! This incredible mosaic damascus chef's knife is sure to be one of your favorite knives in your collection! It is a large knife that has tremendous visual impact as well.
The 9-3/4 inch mosaic damascus blade is forged from 1084 and 15n20 carbon steels to provide exceptional edge holding. The intricate damascus pattern shows Aaron's incredible skills at the forge. The blade has a perfect arc for chopping and slicing tasks. The spine is nicely rounded for comfort. Aaron's maker mark is on the left side of the blade.
The handle is presentation grade ringed gidgee (Acacia cambagei). Gidgee is an exceptional wood for knife handles and is considered to be one of Australia's most beautiful timbers. It has tremendous stability even when exposed to fluctuations in humidity and temperature. It is among the densest woods in the world and has a beautiful curl similar to Hawaiian koa. A polished stainless spacer separates the handle from the matching ringed gidgee bolster. The bolster is carved to accommodate a comfortable pinch grip. This is a knife you won't want to put down!
Exceptional work throughout!
