Description
A fine, mosaic triple-alloy damascus steel of bladesmith Charlie Ellis’s design and making is forged by hand and sculpted into the breathtaking blade and integral bolster of the Third Element Damascus Chef Knife. A rare opportunity to own a stunning work of culinary art, this piece arrives to us in pre-owned, like-new, unused condition—exceptional in every respect. From the nuance of the blade’s compound S-grind geometry to the wonderfully ergonomic, hand-carved curves of the integral bolster and Western-style handle, Charlie’s meticulous attention to detail leaves nothing overlooked. Measuring 246mm / 9.7” in length and standing 56mm tall at the heel, the blade is shaped to perform every cut in the kitchen, its thin, razor-sharp edge backed by geometry focused on uncompromising performance and confident food release. Beginning at nearly 6mm in front of the bolster, the rounded spine tapers cleanly toward a fine, needle-like tip, offering both strength in the rear and precision in the forward inches. For unrivaled comfort in the hand, curly maple, black paper micarta, and red G10 come together in sculptural harmony, forming a grip as natural to hold as it is beautiful to behold. At the handle’s rear, a matching red-and-black ring highlights the hidden mechanical construction, where a retention bolt secures steel to wood with quiet integrity. Weighted and powerful at 9oz / 320g, this one-of-a-kind chef knife balances just as bolster becomes blade. For the discerning cook and collector alike, it is a knife that transforms every slice into a moment worth savoring.
