This chef knife was hand forged from a piece of 1.25” round W1 tool steel. The blade was thinned out to just under 1/8” at the spine, widened to 2.25” at the heel, and lengthened to 6.25” long. The handle was shaped from a piece of African Blackwood, and is just around 1/2” thick giving the blade a very light and nimble feel. The bolster and spine are mirror polished, adding nice contrast to an already sleek yet refined blade. Also included is a custom fit sleeve hand stitched from 8/9oz Hermann Oak leather.

I just got one of Matt’s forged santokus. Very well made with excellent fit and finish, and nice balance. Excellent work.

I appreciate it!

For some reason it looks like the photo uploaded blurry. I had to reduce the image size significantly because it kept saying the file was too large, that must've messed with the image quality along the way.
