Description
Fingal Ferguson calls this profile a chef’s scalpel, and the name earns its keep. At 132mm / 5.1″, the blade is long enough to handle the full range of detail and utility work but slim, light, and delicate enough to perform each cut with a surgeon’s precision. The highly polished, symmetrical convex bevels taper to a razor-sharp edge so finely honed it seems to part ingredients rather than cut them, the Drakkar stainless damascus by Damasteel catching light in clean, flowing layers along the blade’s length.
Drakkar is one of Damasteel’s newest patterns, crafted in small batches at their Swedish forge that has been forming steel steadily since the late 1600s. Drakkar’s open, uncluttered layering gives the high-performance stainless alloys room to breathe. The result is a blade with the understated visual character of a working tool rather than a showpiece, while delivering the corrosion resistance and edge stability that stainless damascus is known for. Hard, tough, and easy to maintain.
The handle is CrazyFiber, a high-pressure non-toxic laminate whose maze-like layering of orange, red, and gold reads like coral under water or lava mid-flow, depending on the light. A decorative mosaic pin adorns the butt. Behind a black bolster that anchors the transition from steel to handle, the grip tapers slightly front to back in Fingal’s iconic form that keeps the hand relaxed and the cuts precise.
At 2.8oz, it disappears in the hand. One of a kind.
