7.5" Protein Petty
7.5" Protein Petty
This knife won 2021 Blade Show West’s best custom chef’s knife award on October 8th 2021.
Hand forged from 1095, 15n20 and 26c3 high carbon steels pattern welded into a polished feather damascus, that will develop the most beautiful rainbow patina to match the pearl if used to process raw chicken and other proteins as intended.
Paired with a dowel fit curly Hawaiian silkwood handle with black lip mother of pearl inlay on the sides and spine of the handle.
Protein Petty knives are made for processing proteins, excelling at poultry work. The cutting edge is quite thin at the tip getting a little heftier towards the heel, not meant for abusive butchery but not as fragile as some of my lasers.
This is a very special show piece of a knife, the pearl inlay is fragile and can be damaged if this knife is dropped or stored improperly. The knife is incredibly capable, structurally sound and absolutely meant to be used, but treated with utmost care.
