This is probably the most impressive knife in my collection.



Custom made 245mm heavy weight chef knife. Jannis measured it as 245mm, but it's actually 249 on the edge. So closer to 250 rather then 240.
  • Steel is 1.2562 has: Carbon: 1,45%, tungsten 3,0%, chromium: 0,35%, vanadium: 0,25%. Some stainless cladding.
  • Hardness about 65hrc (but the steel is very homogenous and tough)
  • Heavy beast weighting 282g.
  • Convex grind (reaaaaally reminds of Kato). Thick spine. Thin near the edge.
  • Heel height: 50mm
  • Spine tapers from 4,5mm down to 0.9 (1cm from the tip)
  • Handle is made from stabilized Koa, Grenadilo ferrule/end cup and walrus tusk spacers.
  • Saya is made from American Walnut
