Description: This chef's knife was made by Gabriel Mabry (Doberman Forge) of Albemarle, North Carolina. Gabriel has a wide variety of skills from his background as a USMC marine, professional chef, restaurant owner, and certifed welder. He uses these skills to make knives that will serve their owners for a lifetime just like his loyal family pet that his forge is named after! Gabriel also became a Forged in Fire champion in the September 15, 2017 episode of the acclaimed TV series!
This high performance chef's knife is a perfect choice as a primary knife in the kitchen. The long, deep-bellied blade is well suited for chopping vegetables and slicing meats. The gentle arc of the cutting edge is perfect for a rocking chopping motion with plenty of finger clearance over a cutting board.
The 8-1/2 inch blade is made from Gabriel's own hand forged damascus. Mabry began with 15N20 and 1084 carbon steels. The pattern combines bold and fine patterns to create a blade that will pull you in for closer examination. The spine and choil have been nicely rounded for comfort. Because this knife is made from carbon steels, we recommend using camellia oil to oil the blade and stabilized wood handle.
The blade moves seamlessly into an integral bolster. Creating integral bolsters takes tremendous skill at the forge and Mabry has done it perfectly.
The handle combines dyed and stabilized curly cottonwood with a G10 spacer. It is well contoured for a secure, comfortable grip. Like other knives, this knife should not be put in the dishwasher.
This chef's knife is sure to become your goto knife.
