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 the kitchen (or your collection!)
This high performance chef's knife is a perfect choice as a primary knife in the kitchen. The long, deep-bellied blade is a perfect choice for your general purpose chef's knife. Whether slicing, chopping, mincing, or dicing, this comfortable knife will do it all. The gentle arc of the cutting edge is perfect for a rocking chopping motion with plenty of finger clearance over a cutting board.
The 9.2 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 beautiful, thinly ground blade is designed for the chef that doesn't want to fight with his (or her) tools. Aaron's touchmark is on the left side of the blade.
The handle is presenation grade curly koa (acacia koa). This durable, dramatic wood is only found on the Hawaiian islands and is one of the most desired woods used in knifemaking. The coke bottle shaped handle is extremely comfortable. It is nicely carved to swell toward the front of the handle, move into a slimmer waist and finally to swell again at the end. Forge welded mosaic damascus bolsters finish the handle. This is a knife you won't want to put down! It is sure to be a kitchen favorite though it would be the highlight of any collection.
Excellent work throughout!
