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 high performance chef's knife is a perfect choice as a primary knife in the kitchen. The long, deep-bellied blade is well suited for slicing vegetables and meats. The gentle arc of the cutting edge is perfect for a rocking, chopping motion with plenty of finger clearance over a cutting board.
The blade is hand forged powdered metallurgical (PM) SG2 stainless steel. SG2 is among the highest performing stainless steels used to build knives. It is rare to find solid SG2, but when you do, the performance cannot be beat! SG2 combines easy care with performance that matches or exceeds the best carbon steels. The blade features an heirloom quality hand rubbed satin finish.
Handle scales are presentation grade Arizona desert ironwood. The warm toned wood has a dramatic, figure. 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 of the handle. The bolster is 416 stainless steel, pinned and soldered to the blade for strength and durability. The knife is perfectly balanced and extremely comfortable to hold.
Excellent work throughout!
