170mm Small Chef 52100 Burnt Ash

Chef knife made from 52100 high carbon steel. The blade has an s-grind, which are the concave sections ground into the blade. This dramatically improves food release and reduces the suface friction while cutting. The s-grind combined with an extremely fine sharp edge will give outstanding performance in the kitchen.

The handle is made from stabilized European ash with a burnt and burnished finish and copper ferrule.
Comes with a matching saya.

This is a carbon steel knife so it will rust if left wet or dirty.
When my carbon steel knives get spots of rust on them I oil them and the scrub with a scotch brite. This removes any surface rust but will leave a dark mark on the blade. Over time and repetition the entire blade will darken and develop a patina that gives good rust protection.

Blade length- 170mm

Overall length- 290mm

Blade depth- 47mm at the heel

Weight- 114 grams

Blade hardness at edge- 62hrc

Stabilizing wood is a process where timber is submerged in a vacuum chamber filled with a heat cured resin. The vacuum is then applied and all the air is sucked out of the grain of the timber and the resin pulled through saturating it completely. The resin soaked timber is then cured in an oven leaving it much more durable and highly water resistant.
