Big Birtha met 80CrV2-kern en 15N20-bekleding – pao rosa heft

A big, heavy chef's knife, forged by hand in Groningen. The core is 80CrV2 between two layers of 15N20. That is san mai, three layers: the hard core takes the edge, the outer layers keep the blade tough. I forged it to act more like a cleaver, so the weight sits toward the front, and it has a nice taper. The handle is pao rosa, a hardwood with a pink-red tone, with a brass ferrule. This knife is not for small hands.
