Description
The versatility of a blade lying between a nakiri and a cleaver, combined with the polished yet rustic allure of Tasmanian bladesmith Jason Ellard’s aesthetic, form a tool of exceptional beauty.
Clad in a densely layered, random-pattern carbon damascus, the Nitro-V core is thin, hard, and razor-sharp beneath satin-finished primary bevels that contrast the textured, forge-finished upper portion in perfect harmony. Convex and balanced, the weighted blade with a 172mm / 6.8″ edge moves effortlessly through ingredients large and small, its 12.2 ounces letting gravity and momentum handle their share of the chopping work, saving the chef’s arm for more delicate tasks.
For comfort and control, Ellard pairs a gorgeous piece of ebony with polished stainless steel and damascus in a nicely sculpted Western profile that fills the hand and guides each cut. A one-of-a-kind tool culinary tool to use daily and pass down to future generations of chefs.
