I have a pretty good deal lined up for you this week! This kitchen knife combo consists of a "carving" knife and a paring knife for a bargain price! The carving knife features a hand rubbed blade made from O-7 tool steel (DIN 1.2519) and a beautiful piece of Claro Walnut. O-7 is a low alloy oil quench tool steel that has more Tungsten than regular O-1 for better wear resistance and edge retention. The O-7 and F-2 class of steels are among my favorite. They offer wear resistance that approaches the modern PM steels and retain good toughness as well. While the spine on this knife is thick at 0.190", it is distally tapered and full flat ground to an edge with excellent cutting geometry. The handle has been hand rubbed and finished with Watco Danish oil and TruOil for protection. The paring knife is made from 52100 ball bearing steel and has a nicely figured Eucalyptus wood handle. Also featuring a full flat grind to a super fine cutting edge, this little paring knife is like having a laser for a finger! It has a thin spine and thin edge geometry for fast and effortless cutting. The blade has a hand rubbed satin finish, as well as the handle. These two knives make for an effective duo in the kitchen!
