This handmade W-2 carbon steel knife is a compact, high-performance blade built for precision, balance, and everyday versatility. The 4.25” blade is forged from W-2 high carbon steel, prized for its ability to take an extremely fine edge and develop outstanding sharpness. A traditional hamon line highlights the differential heat treatment, giving the blade both visual character and enhanced performance—each hamon is naturally unique, making this knife truly one of a kind. The full flat grind allows for smooth, efficient slicing while maintaining excellent control.
The handle is crafted from striking Bloodwood burl, known for its deep red tones and dramatic figure. Paired with durable stainless steel pins, the handle offers both strength and a refined finish. With an overall length of 8”, this knife feels nimble and well-balanced in hand, making it ideal for detailed kitchen tasks or fine utility work. Built entirely by hand, this custom knife blends traditional heat-treating techniques with premium materials for those who value performance, craftsmanship, and timeless design.
