This knife comes from a very large, Hand Selected collection of a great Customer of mine. This collection contains many knives from Makers / Brands that I do not normally carry – I will list them all as time allows.
This is a Custom Chef’s knife with a definite European Flare but made Entirely in the US. This knife is guaranteed to slice like a Light Saber! It would serve any Cook for fine Cutting or Slicing on all types of Fresh Meat or Fresh Vegetables during General Kitchen Prep.
This Custom knife has a Hand Forged 52100 Carbon Steel Core with a Stainless Exterior. A Cryogenic Quench and an approximate Rc of 61. Michael expertly Grinds the entire blade to have a Full Height Flat Grind for maximum cutting efficiency. This leaves the edge Razor Sharp and makes slicing effortless!
Michael no longer offers this Custom Crystalline Patina finish
Michael is a perfectionist and on this example he also added another special appointment, 24k Gold Overlay to his Maker’ Mark.
The blade measures 2″ Wide at the Heel and has a Beautiful Custom Patina. 52100 is universally known as a Tough, High Carbon Steel that takes a Razor Sharp edge and known for its Edge Toughness.
Michael left some of the Forge Marks on the Tang (top and bottom) ~ these are not defects, they are visible representations of the Forging Process when the Steel blank was created.
This is a Full Tang Chef’s Knife ~ the handle scales are Deeply Contoured Curly Maple. The Scales were wonderfully custom contoured for comfort.
The handle is generous in length, slide your hand forward for Finer Cutting or move back a bit for longer slicing.
This knife comes complete in a Custom Presentation Box
This knife will appeal to anyone who has a desire for an Incredible Hand Made Chef’s knife.
~ Hand Crafted with precision from the finest materials ~
A knife of this size and Quality direct from Zieba today would cost almost $1,000
