8.5” Nitro-V Chef knife in Box Elder Burl, Green/Blue G10

Color-shy need not apply! The 8.5" satin finish blade is hand-ground from Nitro-V stainless steel. This is an enhanced version of AEB-L, a Scandinavian steel that was originally developed for razors. It is highly resistant to corrosion but unlike many stainless steels it is also very easy to sharpen and maintain a keen edge, making this steel particularly well suited to kitchen knives. It has been heat-treated to approximately 62 Hrc by Paul Bos Heat Treating of Buck Knives.

The blade is a full flat grind and the edge is convex ground to 15 degrees per side (30 degrees inclusive). The spine, choil and heel have been rounded for comfort.

Ground from .128” thick stock, I would place this knife in the “workhorse” category: not laser thin but thin enough to do everything a chef knife should without having to baby it.

The handle of this knife was made from dyed and stabilized Box Elder burl with green and blue G10 liners.

Not recommended for the dishwasher; as with all quality knives this should be washed by hand and dried immediately.
