Denim Damascus Chef 190mm

Forged by hand from a house-made damascus pattern made from three separate carbon steel alloys comes a striking chef knife by Canadian bladesmith Noah Vachon. Standing 66mm tall with a thin, razor-sharp, 190mm / 7.5″ edge, this is a large, powerful culinary cutting tool with the toughness for the most demanding work, and the outstanding geometry and versatility for every other cut the kitchen can throw at it. Balancing directly above the blade’s heel, this knife is weighted in the hand, a rounded spine tapering steadily from over 5mm wide at the tang down to a slim, needle-like tip for precision slicing and detail work. Convex primary bevel geometry and a hard edge provide a workhorse feel with the finesse needed for precision with every pass. The gorgeous random pattern damascus steel is etched to a contrasting, matte finish while the slim flats along the top of the blade have been left with a forged finish that shows Noah’s hammer blows and the knife’s hand-hewn origins. As beautiful as the blade, a handle sculpted from curly maple is capped with an heirloom-fit ferrule made from a denim and copper composite. Comfortable, and even more satisfying, is how we describe the experience of holding this one-of-a-kind object that merges art and function in the way we love.
