Small San Mai K-Tip Chefs

  Hand-forged San Mai Chefs knife. The blade is comprised of 3 layers of high-carbon steel.  The handle is made from highly active looking Box Edlder Burl, and Buckeye Burl.   I can custom-make one for this knife if you'd like to add a leather sheath. You can find that here.  Note: The patina on a knife is truly beautiful and unique, much like a snowflake—no two are alike. It's a sign of a well-used, well-loved knife. Over time, the blade will develop a natural patina and darken with use. However, be aware that it may stain if acidic food residue isn't promptly removed.
