An heirloom piece from Irish bladesmith Lew Griffin featuring locally sourced, ancient bog oak, Celtic Ogham engravings and a beautiful museum-fit, forged integral handle. The knife also features signature Lew Griffin features like his performance focused "S" grind and facetted western grip.
The profile is a relatively classic santoku tip Gyuto with a nice flat and subtle curve. It's a smooth operator on the board. The geometry is really where this knife shines. A subtly tapered, yet relatively thick and stiff spine gives the knife a confident install stability, while the "S" grind and super thin edge results in a lovely, smooth cutting feel.
The integral handle gives the knife a very ergonomic pinch point and looks amazing with the stabilised ancient bog oak. Varied textures between the brute de forge, satin, hand sanded elements and lovely natural timber make for a beautiful knife that will certainly satisfy for many years to come.
