Triple Weave EDK Chef 145mm

A special Don Carlos Andrade creation for the chef’s kitchen in time for the giving season (but we won’t tell if you keep it for yourself). In Don’s long-admired EDK, or Every Day Kitchen profile, the blade is shaped from 52100 carbon steel, the 145mm / 5.7″ long by 42mm high form packing big, versatile utility in a compact package designed to perform every cut from the most demanding to the most delicate. Tall enough to rock on the board and precise enough for detailed work with the low, pointed tip and sharp edge, the blade boasts Don’s always-superb convex geometry, pronounced and meticulously finished for food release and overall cutting performance, paired with a full-distal taper from a strong, tough heel to a slim tip. The bevels’ silky, satin-finished faces are matched with a unique design element at the spine: an asymmetrical ‘clip’ that merges in the final inch with a nicely detailed, three-face faceted stretch that drops downward to the tip itself. Further adding to the allure of this outstanding, one-of-a-kind build is a handle in Don’s shield-profile wa handle design shaped from the rare, vintage Triple Weave Westinghouse micarta, accented with Don’s trademark round inlay in translucent green G10 and matching ferrule. Striking details abound in the shaping and finishing of this grip offer comfort, control, and exceptionally good looks. A custom cloth-covered saya is included.
