This unique 7" integral Chef features a Brute de Forge style which means it is forged very close to shape and only grinding is profile clean up and bevels. It's made from old school German W2 which is very hard to come by these days as it is no longer made and highly sought after. This tool features a nice hamon and a dyed and stabilized box elder burl handle.
 
*note* All forged pieces are made from carbon steel and will patina over time and can rust if not propperly cared for. These are NOT dishwasher safe. Hand wash only and dry completely. Once dry use a light food safe oil like white mineral oil, or Odies Oil or Axe Wax. If propperly cared for, it will be an heirloom for you and your family over the years. Over time, it will develop a nice patina that will develop it's own character over time and tell the story of it's use.
