This elegant chef knife was forged using the waribagitae technique (better known as the "hot dog in a bun" technique). a small bar of 1084 high carbon steel was inlaid into a bar of mild (structural) steel and forge- welded into a single piece. This results in a blade with a hard (sharp!) edge and a ductile body ideal for a functional kitchen knife. The handle is an elongated octagon in cross section and is made from presentation grade birds eye maple with a stabilized cherry bolster.
