Lost-in-the-Woods Chef 170mm

With this Nick Rossi chef knife in hand, lost is something you will not be. Lost and reclaimed after 200 years is the Maine River Drive maple that forms the striking handle of this one-of-a-kind culinary creation. With Nick’s usual eye for bold and unexpected style, this storied, locally-sourced natural material is complemented by a black micarta from and ferrule, thin, white micarta ring, teal micarta pin, and pair of flush, polished stainless pins. And then there is the business end of this chef’s dream: a 170mm / 6.7″ blade forged by hand from a multi-bar mosaic of homemade carbon damascus steel patterns. Where twists and turns of one pattern culminate, the bold personality of the other continues to tell the story of a tool designed for daily use, for creativity, for inspiration, and for a deeper understanding. Sturdy and stiff along the spine, the knife can be the chef’s kitchen workhorse, tough enough for the most demanding work, balanced by Nick’s superbly honed geometry that delivers a thin, sharp edge and pointed, aggressive tip in a versatile profile for every cut. Comfortable and quick in the hand, a balance point a hair behind the 47mm-tall blade heel gives this tool a nimble, unencumbered feel on the cutting board. From brains to beauty, Nick leaves nothing to want.
