All purpose chef (mustard etched)



8” Hand-Forged W-2 Chef Knife

A performance-driven chef knife built from W-2 high carbon steel, forged and finished by hand. This piece balances thin, efficient cutting geometry with a textured forged surface and a naturally developed mustard patina.

The blade has been fully heat treated and hardened for edge retention and responsiveness, while maintaining the toughness needed for daily kitchen work. Flats are forged to finish, preserving the character of the steel and reducing unnecessary material removal.

The geometry transitions from a robust spine at the heel to a fine, precise tip—allowing for both powerful cuts and detailed work.

The handle is constructed from black Micarta and compression koa, stabilized by KMG. This combination offers durability, grip security, and a natural visual contrast between modern and organic materials.
