Description: Mastersmith Bill Burke's chef's knives are among the highest performing cutlery found anywhere. His heat treatment technique, combined with his choice of steels, results in edge holding that is far beyond other knives. This is a knife that you won't want to put down.
This six inch chef's knife is a perfect general purpose chef's knife. At 6 inches, it is easy to control, yet long enough to get most any task done. The gentle rock of the cutting edge is perfect for chopping, mincing, and slicing. Whether chopping garlic, shallots, slicing tomatoes, you'll find yourself grabbing this exceptional chef's knife.
The blade was hand forged damascus. Mastersmith Burke folded 15,000 layers to create the intricate blade. Because this blade is forged from carbon steels, we recommend using camellia oil to avoid rust and oxidation. Between Burke's choice of steels and his heat treatment process, this knife will be one of the sharpest and most long lasting edges found anywhere.
The half-octagonal handle incorporates African blackwood surrounded by exceptionally rare muskox horn. Muskox horn is one of the rarest and most dramatic handle materials used in the knife world. The highly polished musk ox has a unique grain structure that is immediately captivating. Silicon bronze spacers bring out warm tones in the handle.
The knife has perfect balance and feels exceptional in the hand. It is accompanied by a ho wood saya for easy storage.
