This beautiful hand forged chef knife is all handmade by Dr Zech. He has used 15n20 and En42 steel for the pattern weld. The initial stages of forging the billet were done with a power hammer to ensure uniform welds between the steel layers. A stack of 4 bars was folded 6 times to achieve 256 layers. The final shaping of the knife was done by hand forging, hence some hammer marks are left on the blade visible as lower areas with some forge scale still remaining.
The handle on this hand forged chef knife includes an African blackwood cap followed by micarta, leather and finished with Pau Rosa wood.
