The first of its kind from artist Don Carlos Andrade, this gorgeous two-knife chef’s set featuring a full size Alsace-style chef together with a 147mm / 5.7″ utility slicing blade is named for the rose-red manganese carbonate mineral that inspired this head-turning G.L. Hansen & Sons G-carta handle material. Satin-finished RWL-34 high performance stainless steel, made in Sweden by Damasteel, is shaped by hand with Don’s usually superb convex geometry to produce tough, sharp, hard-working blades designed to perform every cut in the kitchen. High-polished blade spines taper to sturdy, pointed tips for detail work, with both blades offering beautifully curved profiles that both rocks gently on the cutting surface, while also allowing for delicate and precise slicing work. The handles, one in Don’s rendition of the classic hidden-tang Alsace form popularized in France over the past centuries, and the other in his well-loved and comfortable full-tang shape, provide unrivaled control and tactile feedback in use. Three hand-peened and polished steel pins secure the utility knife’s handle scales. Included is a custom, dual carry, cloth-covered saya.
