5.5 Camp/chef knife, ironwood burl

Completely handmade from 1/8 inch thick circular saw steel (8670 tool steel), recycled from a  North Idaho lumber mill. The steel is very similar to our mothers dark colored kitchen knives that cut so well. This one is a little shorter than my regular camp/chefs and does not come with leather sheath.

• A pleasure to use. As a past restaurant owner, I know how important it is to have a tool that makes daily chores easier. A fine convex edge, great for slicing and dicing vegetables and meat.
• Previous customers say this knife becomes their favorite most used knife in the kitchen. You can spend less on a Henckels or Wusthof but this knife will feel better in your hand and be much easier to keep sharp. A couple passes on the strop every week or two, takes about 10 seconds to keep it hair shaving sharp. See my sharpening instructions on the " Knife Care" page.  The sharpening strop comes with the knife.
• The handle is ironwood burl with black liners and copper pins.
• Over all length 10.5 inches. Blade is  2.1/4 inches wide. Cutting edge is a little over 5.5 inches. My touchmark is on the blade.
