8.25" CHEF KNIFE

This chef knife started life as a piece of 52100 bar stock that I hand-forged to shape. The blade was then heat-treated and hand-sanded to a satin finish, leaving some forge texture on the blade. The handle had an internal pin and is made of stabilized ancient bog oak and cherry. The knife was then sharpened to a razors edge and the handle and blade were hand-polished with a mixture of mineral oil and beeswax. Every step of this process was completed in my workshop, creating a one of a kind, hand-forged knife.
