Description: Australian knifemaker Towball Weightman is a friend of Mastersmith Bill Burke. Weightman's knives are works of art that excel in performance. This chef's knife really shows his expertise and his understanding of chef's knife geometry really shines through.
This high performance chef's knife is a perfect choice as a primary knife in the kitchen. The long, deep-bellied blade is well suited for slicing vegetables and meats. The gentle arch of the cutting edge is perfect for a rocking chopping motion with plenty of finger clearance over a cutting board.
The 8-1/4 inch blade is formed from stainless damascus forged in Germany by Markus Balbach. The pool and eye damascus is immediately captivating. This steel combines low maintenance with high performance. This knife is perfectly balanced and is one that you won't want to put down. Both the spine and choil are perfectly rounded for a comfortable grip.
The traditional octagonal wa handle is formed from buckeye burl (Aesculus spp.). The wood has a nice mix of light and dark tones with a tremendous underlying figure. A tan Micarta 'bolster' seals the front of the handle from absorbing water during use. By using stabilized woods, Weightman ensures this knife will hold up well to the high demands of either a home or commercial kitchen.
Exceptional work throughout!
