Frame tang chef
This chef's knife is from stainless CPM154 at a verified hardness of 60hrc and has been hand sanded to 1000 grit. Having a rounded and polished choil and spine makes this piece a pleasure to use.
The frame tang handle is permanently soldered to the blade - this construction utilises a soldered brass bolster and frame, butterscotch paper micarta scales and a brass pin, with a second hidden pin towards the rear of the handle for added reinforcement. Material transition corners were broken over prior to glue up to remove the all sharp edges, brass has been antiqued.
The balance point is on the maker's mark making a pinch grip very comfortable .
Specs: 225mm blade length, 50mm tall at the heel with a 3mm spine. All rounder geometry with a very fine tip. Weight is 273g. 350mm overall length.
