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 stabilized spalted maple from Asheville, NC, stabilized amethyst sycamore (from chair-making friend & neighbor Curtis Buchanan’s seat stash) and a spacer made from Gibson Guitars maple (TN). Form fitting handle.
