Description: Andreas Kalani creates knives that celebrate the natural beauty of steel. Within every one of Kalani's custom knives, are the elements of life lasting quality and performance. Andreas worked with Journeyman Smith Mike Tyre. He is a member of the Southern California Blades Knife Collectors Club, California Knifemakers Association and is currently working to achieve his journeyman smith credentials. Each unique knife made by Kalani is an extension of himself and his vision.
Chef's knives are the general purpose knife in the kitchen. From slicing tomatoes to chopping onions, this knife will get the task done perfectly. It is sure to be a kitchen favorite. Kalani created this shape to serve as both a chef's knife and as a great knife for making quick work of slicing barbeque.
The blade is high performing AEB-L stainless steel. Many knifemakers and metallurgists feel that AEB-L, with its small crystalline size, tremendous edge stability and toughness, is among the best stainless steels used in knifemaking today. AEB-L was developed for razor blades with a very fine grain structure making it easy to sharpen while maintaining good edge holding capabilities. The sides of the blade are laser engraved with stars.
The handle is buckeye wood stabilized in red resin to be reminiscent of the deep red valleys of Mars. This also allows the natural wood handle to hold up to the harsh demands of the professional kitchen. A matching resin spacer separates the brass bolster and spacer. Kalani's mark is shown at the end of the handle.
A leather sheath handmade by Kalani is included to protect the knife during storage.
Excellent work throughout!
