At a hand-filling 230mm long by 61mm tall, this beautiful build represents the largest and most capable chef knife we have had the honor of receiving from Ireland’s Fingal Ferguson. Stainless suminagashi cladding jackets a core of Japanese VG-10 steel to form a blade that delivers a thin, sharp edge, aggressive tip, and slightly flexible gyuto-inspired profile to the chef’s cutting board. The rounded blade spine and choil provide comfort in any grip, while a balance point just in front of the edge’s heel gives the lightweight, 6.5oz / 186g build a quick and nimble feel in the hand. Completing this one-of-a-kind object with every bit as much elegance and warmth as its use will impart on its operator is a handle sculpted in Fingal’s well-loved and recognizable form from stunning poplar burl bookended by black G10. Together these complementary elements are secured using a through-tang retention bolt that is capped at the rear with a flush, polished, Loveless-style bolt.
