Description
Bladesmith and artist Joseph Schrum crafts this refined petty chef knife from his striking ball bearings “canister” damascus steel, a high-contrast two-alloy blend that, in this latest build, reveals a visual effect more distinct than ever before. Forged with an integral bolster, the blade’s form flows seamlessly into a sculpted wa-style handle of richly figured redwood burl, its depth of grain and warm hue adding both character and comfort. Compact yet highly versatile, Joseph’s pronounced and expertly honed convex bevel geometry transitions from sturdy strength at the heel to a fine, agile tip designed for precision and the most delicate cuts. The result is a mid-size chef’s tool that carries equal measures of beauty, balance, and performance. An heirloom piece destined for daily use.
