Integral Bearings Petty 158mm

Bladesmith and artist Joseph Schrum gives his ball bearings ‘canister’ damascus steel the integral forged bolster treatment in this handsome new petty chef knife. Superbly honed convex geometry through the short, versatile bevels produces a handy, mid-size chef’s tool designed to perform nearly every cut it the kitchen. The visual impact of the high-contrast two-alloy steel formula masks the nuances that make this a high-performance knife, tough and sturdy in the rear for the biggest cuts, and becoming progressively slimmer toward the tip for slicing and detail work. With its beautifully sculpted integral bolster handle construction, Joseph pairs a dark, moody piece of black-dyed maple burl to complete the comfortable, wa-style grip.
