From the choice ofBjrkmans Twist pattern Damasteel stainless damascus small-batch steel made in Sweden, to the hand filling handle finished with copper-infused FatCarbon carbon fiber, this Fingal Ferguson chef knife is not for the faint of heart. A 64mm tall santoku-inspired blade profile combined with full-tang construction produce a weighted and powerful tool that tips the scales at 9.4oz / 268g, balancing a touch behind the blade’s choil, all with a natural and nimble feel on the cutting board. Thin and sharp at the edge backed by tall, convex bevels that culminate at a very slim, pointed tip, result in a versatile, hard working, and handy finished product that will excel at every cut, from the most demanding chopping tasks, to delicate and refined slices. And, the luxurious material combination is both beautiful and low-maintenance, making this an excellent workhorse for both home and professional kitchens. Finishing the handle in Fingal’s recognizable and well-loved profile, flush, polished, stainless steel bolts secure the sculpted carbon fiber to liners of black G10, all of which surround a full blade tang that shows the layers of the stainless damascus steel as beautifully as the blade.
