Blue Burl Petty Chef 175mm

Philadelphia bladesmith Steve Pellegrino forges 45-layer twist pattern damascus and a vein of pure nickel over a core of 52100 carbon steel to complete the blade of this handsome and versatile petty chef knife. At 175mm / 6.9″ long with a 52mm heel and upswept profile, incredibly slim, needle-like tip, and very thin edge, this tool will be a joy to use for all manner of daily kitchen prep, especially chopping tasks where a compact knife is desired, as well as detail work and precision slicing. The rounded spine is stiff and sturdy out of the handle, tapering, heavily in the final three inches to provide a dynamic and refined front end. For comfort and control, a blue dyed maple handle is sculpted into an elegant, hybrid form with facets and gentle edges at each transition which Steve has embellished with a polished stainless steel and white micarta spacers. A custom white oak saya is included.
