blade steel | 1095 carbon steel
HRC | 62
overall Length | ~185mm
blade length | 157mm
blade height at heel | 25mm
spine thickness at handle - mid - k tip | 2.9mm - 2.5mm - 1.1mm
handle material | ambrosia maple
ferrule material | micarta
weight: 62g
This paring knife is designed for boning peeling and delicate tip work. The edge at the heel is stout gradually becoming finer as it progresses towards the tip. This blade is suitable for boning & cutting through joints while the tip is fine and ideal trimming silver skin or peeling an apple.
This knife’s mono steel blade is made from 1095 carbon steel. Similar in composition to Hitachi White line of steels with high levels of carbon, very little impurities, and no alloying elements. This steel performs at a high level while offering greater than its Japanese counter parts.This steel takes fine edges and is easy to sharpen while producing wispy burrs in the process. With a symmetrical grind, it is suitable for either left or right hand use.
The take down handle is ambrosia maple which is harvested locally. Due to its high level of figure, irregular colouring, swell as holes left from burrowing ambrosia beetles this would is less sought after by larger manufacturers for its lack of uniformity. It is these features that I find give it its beauty and offers individuality to each piece. Both burnt and natural finish handles are sealed with multiple layers of natural tung oil.
Ferrules are constructed from either paper or linen micarta (comprised of layers of fibre bound together with phenolic resin). Micarta is a super tough material that becomes grippier as it is wetted. Each tang is stamped with model.batch.serial number as well as CI25 (cooking Implements/year of manufacturing)
there are two different six sided handle designs on offer: peak and standard. Peak swells towards the ferrule handle interface before tapering towards the butt of the handle. Standard is a simple is simple taper swelling away from the blade.
Each knife comes securely stored in its own wooden sheath and wrapped in a furoshiki.
All weights and lengths of items are approximations based on the measurements of a single member of each batch. The products are made to be as close to identical as possible but some variation will exist due to the hand made nature of the items
