Custom Chef Knife - Handmade in South Africa
This absolute thing of beauty was hand crafted here in South Africa!
It’s the first of the truly bespoke items to be listed on Woodsman Wares. We won’t be restocking this knife, because there isn’t another one like it – its unique, once off and never to be seen again.
The blade is a 1085 hi-carbon steel, the handle is a stabilized maple burl, with a hand rub stain finish – Wildly Classy!
The great thing about this steel, is that over time the steel will patina slightly, making it even more unique, but most importantly showing its been used. After all as stunning as this knife is – its not an ornament, its made to be used.
The slight finger choil in the blade allows you to get a proper chef’s grip on the blade, the hi-carbon steel retains its edge well and sharpens quickly and easily. The slight curve of the cutting edge means a smooth action for chopping and dicing.
For the woodman who treats his cooking like the art it should be. They appreciate the finer things and hanker after that Sunday lunch roast, or cold evening aromatic curry ; who knows that a woodsman doesn’t “just cook bru”, he creates his own cuisine.
Then having this custom chef knife in your kitchen will bring you many years of great service, and every time you pull it from the knife block you will know its yours, and only yours…
To take extra good care of these steel on this knife, pick up some Lumberjack’s Wax too, its all natural great for steel and is food grade – perfect for kitchen knives.
