Opposing Damascus Chef 255mm

A full-size chef knife handmade by Peter Swarz-Burt to fill the cook’s hand, heart, and belly. From its beautifully honed edge geometry, thin and convex, to the forward-leaning balance point an inch in front of the blade’s heel for effortless cuts, to the outstanding finish and beauty of Peter’s two-bar mosaic carbon damascus steel, this piece will easily become the go-to workhorse in any kitchen. The mid-height bevels and full-distal taper along the blade’s spine result in a versatile tool that combines finesse and toughness wonderfully, suited to demanding chopping work and detail cuts with the tip in the same breath. With Eastern gyuto inspiration, from the relatively low tip (in spite of a nicely curved edge profile, possible due to its overall length) for precision slices, to the comfortable, tapering shield-style wa handle, Peter ensures the knife will suit almost every grip and cutting style. To wield this one-of-a-kind work, macadamia wood with blade micarta provides a welcoming, tactile experience at the cutting board with looks to match.
