Description
As only Salem Straub can, an extraordinary new one-of-a-kind chef knife shoots for the stars. Forged by hand from his bow tie carbon damascus steel in a do-it-all K-tip profile, the Six Star Damascus Chef knife represents the intersection of form and function at its finest. Compound, symmetrical bevel geometry with a convex lower section that balances toughness and precision perfectly provides the versatility to perform every cut in the kitchen. Tough and rigid in the rear while slim and slightly flexible in the forward inches, the 246mm / 9.7″ blade enjoys Salem’s superb full-distal taper along the rounded spine and excellent heat treatment to further add to the knife’s well-rounded capabilities. With visual density in the layers of high-carbon alloys, the damascus steel is viewed with beautiful clarity throughout the sculpted and faceted integral forged handle bolster. Then, with stepped, heirloom fit-up the damacus gives way to a striking piece of boxelder burl that Salem has inlaid with six stabilized and dyed hardwood stars, three on each side, becoming progressively brighter from back to front. On the rear face of the octagonal wa handle is a flush stainless steel retention bolt cap signifying the knife’s internal mechanical construction. For an elevated daily cooking experience comes an heirloom object to admire, and pass down through the generations.
