This knife is made from Bohler Uddeholm Sandvik 19c27 Sweedish Stainless Steel, heat treated to 60-61hrc. This steel had great edge formation and sharpness while still maintaining great durability. The blade has been ground very thin and lightly convexed, sporting a s-grind to aid in food release and maximizing cutting feel. The blade is satin finished with polished choil and spine. The octagonal handle is made from oak and green dyed poplar burl.
