Cutting Implement 010
This cutting implement is asymmetrically forged and ground for a right handed user. Your left hand knuckles will rest against a smooth & slightly convex ground face while food will struggle to stick to the c ground surface on the right hand side of the knife. Knife has a flat edge along the first 2/3 with subtle rock on the front 1/3. The unknown exotic wood handle was sourced from scrap pallet would found at Thommy’s Back to Earth Natural Aged Mulch and is incredibly dense with stable cracks running through it. The wood was given a burnt finish by heating up large pieces of steel in my forge and pressing the handle into. A similar treatment known as Shou Sugui Ban has been used for centuries by Japanese builders on building structures that interface with the ground to protect the wood from wrought and decay. The brass spacer was sourced from Maple Leaf Rubber Stamp and was a misprinted brass tag used to label equipment for industrial clients. Ferrule is made of a tough black resin. Handle is a take down design and can be disassembled with a 2.5mm hex key.
My knives are intended to be used daily in the kitchen and if for any reason they break under normal use I will repair or replace at no cost to the user. As these knives are extremely hard and thin they should be handled with the same care as a Japanese knife
