Description: This chef's knife by Mastersmith Tom Ferry is sure to become a favorite in the kitchen. The 7" blade is sized perfectly to become a chef's main work horse. A gentle rock makes it excellent both for slicing and chopping. The curve, which was inspired by Japanese gyuto, is particularly efficient for chopping. The ergonomic handle is designed to give plenty of finger clearance over a cutting board.
This knife has been in a private collection and has never been used to cut. By all appearances, Ferry could have made it yesterday.
The blade was forged by Tom using 15N20 and 1084 carbon steels for a keen, long lasting edge. The many layered pattern immediately grabs attention. The blade has been distal tapered for optimal balance.
Black G10 scales are set on the full tang for strength and durability. The G-10 is contoured to sell at the palm, for a secure, comfortable grip. G-10 is a particularly good choice for a chef's knife since it holds up beautifully to the high demands of either a commercial or home kitchen. This is a knife you won't want to put down!
Excellent work throughout.
