This popularly sized performance chefs knife features a heavily forge-textured spine with a durable kuroichi finish and a rainbow of torch temper colors - a finish reminiscent of trout and heavily inspired by the rivers and creeks of beautiful east Tennessee. Bevels are polished to an easy-to-maintain satin workhorse finish. The full tang bolster imparts a stout feel while the majority hidden tang adds to the comfort and ease of maintenance. This build is finished in reclaimed Blackwood from a clarinet factory in Paris and hurricane Irma (2017) storm felled oak burl from Atlanta. Modified octagonal handle.
