At 8-1/2 inches, it is a comfortable size for easy control and will get almost any task done. This nimble knife is sure to become your kitchen favorite.
The blade is made from Jordan's own damascus, forged from carbon steels to ensure excellent chip resistance and edge holding. The 255 layer damascus has high contrast and is beautifully detailed. The spine and choil are nicely rounded for comfort. This blade is thin and lightweight for high performance cutting.
The handle is Arizona desert ironwood. Desert ironwood (Olneya tesota) is a rare wood that is only found in the valleys of the Sonoran Desert below 2,500 foot elevation. It is extremely dense and durable. In fact it is so dense, that if a piece is dropped in water it will sink! This is a knife you won't want to put down! It is sure to become a kitchen favorite.
Excellent work throughout!
