Dandelions in the Wind Chef 210mm

Artist, bladesmith, and damascus visionary Charlie Ellis has delivered his first creation of the year, and the first since his contribution to The Art of Cutlery in Summer 2024, the incredible Golden Core chef knife. Like that work of functional art, this Dandelions in the Wind Chef speaks for itself. Charlie's attention to the details is superalitve, including those which fall into the categories of aesthetic, tactile, and performative.
