Distortion Damascus Slicer 275mm

From Detroit bladesmith Nico Nicolaides comes an elegant, refined slicer perfect for carving and serving tableside in the dining room, yet equally as at home preparing sashimi in the kitchen. House-made random pattern carbon damascus steel, appearing almost as though to twist, turn, and distort in front of your eyes, is forged by hand to form the long, classically shaped 275mm blade. Tapering steadily along the rounded spine, slimming from 3.1mm wide out of the bolster to just 1.4mm an inch from the tip, produces a dynamic and slightly flexible slicing profile with a precise, thin, and sharp edge beneath convex bevel geometry. Cutting performance guaranteed. The knife’s integral, wa handle construction is hewn with a micarta spacer between steel and wood to form a beautiful, comfortable grip with which to control cutting edge. From the beautiful sculpting of the hand-forged integral bolster to the etch and polish of the damascus to the handsome handle, this work of functional art will bring years of cutting pleasure.
