The soft stainless steel cladding on this kitchen utility (or maybe your next favorite steak knife) shields a hard carbon steel core, allowing the cutting edge to be heat treated to a higher HRC without sacrificing durability. Because the outer layers are softer, future thinning are less labor-intensive. Beyond the performance benefits, the blade is simply beautiful. Copper bolster, tapered full tang handle and storm fell oak burl from hurricane Irma, Atlanta 2017.
