Black Curly Maple 12.5” Chefs Knife

12.5” chefs knife with 7.5” satin finished blade. Blade width is approximately 2 3/8” Crafted of high carbon 1095 steel and hardened to 60+ HRC this blade can easily meet your kitchen needs. The handle is made from a finely grained stabilized* Black dyed Curly Maple. As some parts of the grain have resisted the dye the results are a lovely soft brindle effect. The lighter areas are complemented by white G10 pins with the black, brass, and stainless mosaic pins drawing out additional details in the wood. White and black G10 liners frame the handle.

*Stabilized wood is wood that has been processed to improve its stability and durability by impregnating it with a resin or polymer. Dye is often introduced adding beautiful coloration to supplement the natural grain and patterns.

For best edge retention use with a wooden, bamboo, or plastic cutting board. (Do not use on glass, ceramic, or stone surfaces). Use a kitchen steel for daily edge maintenance. Take care of your blade and it will serve you well for life.
