This knife has a relatively flat profile with a small amount of rock in the front 1/3 of the blade. This blade was originally much longer but due to a blemish in forging it was ground to its current length and is unlike any known profile. Blade is short and relatively flat with a subtle amount of rock that is hardly noticeable. Edge was sharpened by hand open Japanese water stones to a finish of 4000 grit on each side. The blade was asymmetrically forged and ground with a c grind for a right handed user offering a smooth surface for your left hand knuckles to rest against while a hollow exists behind the edge on the right side leading to lower food stick-age and cutting resistance. This versatile design is ideal for every day prep work in the kitchen . Hamon. Handle is made from Emily's maple cutting board with a resin ferrule. Wood was brunt against a red hot bastard file giving it a unique texture that feels great in the hand. Handle is easily removable with a threaded take down construction and is modular. If you would like an additional handle made from different woods and finishes please ask. Black on Black.
