A vibrant and contemporary styled 175mm petty/utility knife from bladesmith Martin Huber. The blade is forged from in-house made 24-layer Damascus steel, a combination of 1.2842, 75Ni8 and C100. The result is a very premium steel, suitably hard for a tough edge and featuring a beautiful, high contrast wave pattern. At the spine the blade features a small amount of brute de forge, giving the steel a nice textured feel at the pinch point.
A k-tip profiled knife with a stiff, relatively consistent spine thickness and a classic petty edge profile. A 42mm blade height for a decent amount of knuckle clearance makes this a very versatile and nimble little blade, at home in the kitchen or at the table next to a block of hard cheese.
Martin’s signature tapered Rokkaku Hanmaru handle feels great in the hand with the facetted shoulders giving the user a perfectly indexing point to pivot the blade for detail work. The handle is shaped from a vibrant stabilised piece of popular burl, which is paired with carbon fibre spacer and G10 bolster for a unique contemporary look.
