Cutting Implement 011
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 Maple wood handle was sourced from my partner Emily’s hand me down cutting board and was given a burnt wood finish by heating up a large chunk of steel in my forge and laying the wood on it. A similar treatment known as Shou Sugi 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. 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
