Hazenberg Blackwood Chef 190mm

In pristine, pre-owned condition, this is a wonderful opportunity to bring home a chef knife handmade by Jelle Hazenberg that delivers all of the elements that make his work so sought after. Forged from 125sc (‘super-clean’) carbon steel, the 190mm / 7.5″ honyaki blade enjoys a lustrous, high-polish finish with bevels etched to reveal a striking and detailed hamon, coupled with a textured, forge-finished stretch near the tang on either side showing the hammer marks of the blade’s origins. Superbly convex above a thin, hard, hair-popping sharp edge, the geometry is spot on, while a full-distal taper along the rounded spine slims to a razor-thin, pointed tip for uncompromising precision. Complementing the contoured choil and spine for comfort and control is a handle in Jelle’s iconic, sculpted style, shaped from beautiful African Blackwood to hug the hand in any grip. A one-of-a-kind cutting tools with heirloom quality finish from this talented, Ireland-based Dutch maker.
