A kitchen workhorse
With its combination of high hardness and toughness, ApexUltra steel works very well in knives with thin, acute edges. Culinary knives, razors, and carving knives are examples of good applications. This knife has been forge welded and drawn out by hand imparting a unique pattern where the core steel is exposed highlighted by a thin layer of bright nickel. Forged in the Hunter Valley NSW these knives exhibit a strong distal taper starting at 5mm over the heel to 1.8mm an inch from the tip. Gently acid etched to create a slate patina these rustic beauties promise years of trustworthy service in the hands of professionals or amateur cooks alike.
These blades are non stainless and will require light oiling if stored for extended periods
Patina will continue to develop over time, hand wash only.
