By bladesmith Toma Fenes of Romania, the Damascus Heart Chef is an exquisite and versatile culinary tool built for the rigors of every-day cooking,forged by hand from 26c3 ‘Spicy White’carbon steel to create a Western-style blade featuring a beautiful heart detail. Altogether, it’s enough to make you fall in love. Wonderfully balanced just at the blade’s heel, the silky, satin finished bevels are superbly shaped foroutstandingcutting performance, the convex geometry slimming to a sharp, thin, near-zero edge. Above, the blade’s comfortably rounded and polished spine tapers steadily from handle forward, delivering a dynamic and evened feel along with a very slim, needle-like tip perfect for detail work and precision slicing. With forge-finished blade flats that complement the handle’s natural, rustic aesthetic, 19-year-old Toma shows that age is just a number when it comes to the marriage of form and purpose-built function. The handle is sculpted of deer antler and inlaid with a handsome, domed cap of damascus in the rear, adding a beautiful touch to this one-of-a-kind kitchen knife. For the home cook and professional chef alike comes a world-class cutting tool from the newest artist to join our collection.
