From beginning to end the KAZE series from Antoine Kniamen of Adonis Forged Arts represents the culmination of years of experience in metal fabrication and as a blacksmith. Each KAZE series blade features a fully forged and hand finished geometry, this is artisan craftsmanship at its best.
The bevels are precision finished on whetstones and they are beautifully consistent. In fact, the beauty of working with whetstones is that they highlight imperfection unlike any other medium. So, although working by hand with a whetstone is far more challenging both in terms of skill and physically, the results are stunning.
This KAZE series blade features a classic Adonis Forged Arts pointed Gyuto profile, thin and nicely tapered down to the needle tip. The edge profile is a smooth and subtle curve that has a delightful cutting action on the board. Forged in European super steel “Apex Ultra” and hardened to a very hard and tough 67HRC. The edge is razor sharp and zero ground and the bevels have been set for workhorse tasks.
Antoine has paired this KAZE series blade with a beautiful subdued spalted beach handle with his classic brass bolster and name plate. These KAZE series blades represent the best when it comes to Antoine’s work and once you have one in your hands we are sure you will agree.
