The custom, handmade handle is crafted by Anthony in our shop using ten carefully layered pieces of abalone and G10. The layered construction technique results in a handle that’s not only visually striking but also incredibly durable and tough. Each piece is made by hand with attention to detail, giving it a one-of-a-kind look and feel that stands out in both performance and style.
Our 8.5" Chef model is inspired by the legendary cutlery of Japan, featuring a thin, hard, high-performance blade and our full-tang interpretation of the classic Japanese 'Wa' handle that features simple, straight lines and a slight taper from back to front. The blade is made from AEB-L Swedish stainless steel, heat-treated to 61 Rockwell hardness w/ cryogenic treatment.
Blade specs: 2” high at the heel, .10” thick with a full distal taper to the tip, and 0.010” thin behind the edge.
