This versatile 8 3/4” chef’s knife features a slightly convex grind, thin behind the edge for excellent cutting performance and easy maintenance. Tapered full-tang construction provides balance and a confident feel in hand. Spine is textured and torched. As part of the Cask Strength series, this knife combines the ancient craft of laminated steel with the ethos of "leave it better than you found it" and a deep commitment to recycling. New life is given to reclaimed materials to to be passed on for generations.
