Silver Shoreline Chef 218mm

Meticulous, dynamic edge geometry and strikingly handsome looks combine to form a one-of-a-kind chef knife designed for every cut in the chef’s kitchen. Crafted by hand in southern England by bladesmith Korben Bloomfield, the blade is forged from a homemade formula that sees stainless steel cladding and a layer of pure nickel laid atop a hardened core of 80Crv2 high-carbon steel. Convex primary bevels offer a beautiful balance between strength and precision, the edge itself being thin and razor-sharp while the material above provides toughness as well as food-release for uncompromising performance on the cutting board. The blade’s rounded, polished, and etched spine, in which the material formula’s five layers are visible, tapers distally toward a slim, pointed tip that sits high in relation to the handle to allow the blade to rock nicely on the board while being shaped perfectly for detail work and slicing. Above the 60mm tall heel is an elegantly formed ricasso that separates the hand sanded, satin-finished blade bevels from the forge-finished flats and tang which show the marks of the knife’s hand-forged origins. A comfortable, ergonomic grip is enjoyed via the sculpted, Western style handle of walnut wood and black G10 in a construction that allows it to be removed using the domed, polished steel pin.
