Cyele Professional Custom Chef's Knife
- Size: Knife: Length overall: 10.875" (27.6 cm), Blade Length:7.0" (17.8 cm),
Thickness: .115" (2.9 mm)
- Weight: Knife: 9.5 oz. Sheath: 5.5 oz.
- Blade: 440C High Chromium Martensitic Stainless Tool Steel, Hardened and Tempered to Rockwell C58,
hollow ground and mirror polished
- Bolsters, Fittings: 304 Austenitic Stainless Steel, mirror polished
- Handle: Polished Australian Tiger Iron Gemstone
- Sheath: Kydex, Nickel Plated Steel
- Knife: Here's a very nice chef's knife for a
great client, commissioned to his detail. The blade is very thin and
hollow ground, a super blade for work in the kitchen, razor keen and
highly corrosion resistant 440C, with a bright, smooth, crisp grind
and polish that will be very easy to keep clean. He wanted filework
just on the spine, so I chose a strong and detailed opposing
crescent pattern. The tang of the knife is lightly tapered and
smooth, mounted with 304 austenitic high chromium, high nickel 304
stainless steel for ultimate corrosion resistance and zero care. The
bolsters are dovetailed and hold a pair of smoothly polished
Australian Tiger Iron gemstone scales, which have beautiful bands of
hematite, tigereye quartz, and red jasper. This is a
rich, tough, durable gemstone material that has a great track record on my
knives. The handle is a seamless blend of steel and stone, and very comfortable
and light to the touch, with well-rounded contours and balanced weight. This is
a knife that begs to be taken to the board for some quick prep work!
- Sheath: The sheath for this knife is double
thickness kydex, a slip sheath to protect the knife and edge (and
the owner) while in the drawer or in transport. It's assembled with
kydex welts to protect the edge, and secured with nickel plated
steel Chicago screws. It's a clean sheath that should last as long
as the knife
Thanks, D. E.!
Hi Jay,
Cyele arrived safely and once again, your work exceeds my wildest
expectations. The knife is a work of art. The gemstone
handle is without peer. The fit, finish, and balance could not be
better. It is the perfect compliment to my Vega chef's knife, just
as you anticipated and predicted. Thanks again!
