9 Inch 1095 High Carbon Steel Chefs Knife

This handmade 9 inch chef's knife is crafted with 1095 steel. It's high carbon steel that's tough and is easy to resharpen with a basic sharpening kit.

It's been heat treated to achieve a hardness of appropriately 62 rockwell. This is harder than typical (factory produced) chefs knives and means that the knife will take a fine edge. However it should not be used on stone or glass chopping boards and shouldn't be used for prying, chopping bone or on frozen items.

The handle is made from ash burl that's been stabilised with resin. Next to that is a piece of African blackwood. The handle is held together with super strong aerospace epoxy and stainless steel pins 

The blade is approximately 228mm (9 Inches) long and 51mm (2 inches) tall at the heel. The blade tapers to less than 1mm at the tip. The handle length is approximately 135mm (~5.5 inches). The knife has good knuckle clearance, even for big hands.
