Modern chef's knives vary widely, perhaps more than any other type of knife known. Since the chef's knife must perform many different tasks, there is a great variety of blade styles and shapes, grinds and finishes, handles and forms. Chef's knives may perform delicate tasks requiring thin, hard blades; other chef knives may need an improved and refined grip to apply great force with extended blade toughness. Each should reflect the owner's appreciation for finely crafted works of art as well as tools. This limited edition knife features a brass finger guard and butt plate, leather, and Amboyna Burl.
