This is a high carbon steel version of my general purpose kitchen knife pattern. High carbon steel offers great cutting performance while remaining easy to sharpen. I ground the blade geometry nice and thin for excellent cutting performance and darkened the steel with an acid etch. Over time the surface will patina as it interacts with acidic foods creating a unique looking knife blade. I tried a new pairing of black canvas micarta and rosewood which provides some contrast in the handle. If you are looking for a daily use knife with some character this is a great one to add to your kitchen!
8” Blade made from 26C3 high carbon steel, 0.1” Thick
5” Handle made from canvas micarta and rosewood
*Please note high carbon steel knives will patina over time. Without proper drying and oiling after use they will rust.
*Does not include a sheath.
