Yanick Puig is a blacksmith located in La Salvetat-Peyralès, France. Yanick has been working on his craft for over 20 years with a focus on kitchen cutlery. His steel of choice is 135Cr3, a high carbon tool steel that has very good sharpness and wear resistance. This blade is a 7 layer construction using 30NC11 and vintage iron layers for a striking pop of contrast. The bevels are kasumi finished on a progression of Japanese natural stones. The top side of the blade is a very clean kurouchi finish. Yanick's knives have a nice weight to them and stiff spine, making them very confident and precise tools. Fit and finish is excellent with polished spine and choil. The blade is fitted with an octagonal bocote handle.
