This Performance Series chefs knife is forged from a favorite kitchen knife steel that we’ve tested and loved in our own kitchen for many years. The high performance steel blade features a hammer-textured spine with a HWF signature handle construction: a full tang bolster imparts a stout feel while the majority hidden tang adds to the comfort and ease of maintenance while shedding weight. Bevels are polished to an easy-to-maintain satin, rounded choil and spine for comfort. Handle is Turkish walnut from a shotgun stock with copper and an oversized spalted maple spacer, and a continuous grain bolster with turquoise G10 pins.
