Please read our Terms below for details. PLEASE NOTE: We take our photos in natural light outdoors and as a result there are sometimes reflections or shadows or glare shown in the blades. In person none of these exist; we will say so in the description if it may be otherwise. The blade's shape was modeled after an OLD French tournier with a bit of wear, which remarkably became even MORE effective with time and wear and tear! This knife will BEDAZZLE any chef for whom fruits and veggies are practically a religious obsession, as they are for me. Unfortunately, the prospect proved wildly expensive and was more trouble than it was worth. Without a doubt, both knives are FANTASTIC.

In terms of design, materials, craftsmanship, sheer beauty, condition and performance, it offers everything one could hope to find and much, much more. Blade heat-treated 01 carbon tool steel of the very finest quality, hand-honed to a razor's edge with a truly triangular shape that is very much an homage to the old French knives about which so many of us are so crazy. Its blade is relatively thin and light but sacrifices nothing in terms of strength and agility; there is only the slightest flex. Its edge's radius-ground cutting geometry achieves the maximum sharpness possible, which it delivers in spades. As with any carbon steel knife, it must be kept dry to avoid rusting but this minor inconvenience is more than offset by the superior performance of carbon steel, as any veteran user can readily confirm.

Its handles are beautiful myrtlewood, harvested in Oregon before myrtle was banned there for harvest, as it is today. Myrtle is, like beechwood, naturally water-resistant and will continue to darken and deepen in color and in lustre with use and touch.

Handles are bolstered in solid brass to give the knife excellent heft, then brass-pinned over a full tang, as warm to the touch as they are easy on the eye. The knife's one, purely aesthetic flourish is the inclusion of our signature mosaic pin anchoring the handle closest to the pommel. It's geometric form is suggestive of an ancient Celtic knot but any chef will be forgiven for thinking it merely looks pretty cool.

But these knives were not made merely to look great; they were made to be put to work at the very highest levels by the most demanding professional chefs on the planet. Whether you are a professional chef, a serious home cook or merely someone who collects fine knives, you are going to treasure this outstanding knife. It's the perfect tool for executing every kitchen's most demanding precision tasks, from peeling and paring of fruit and veggies to performing culinary surgery like boning quail or butterflying prawns. Once you've held this knife in your hand you'll immediately come to recognize the seductive genius behind its design.

It just BEGS to be used, and when you use it, you simply won't want to stop. The elegance of its "feel" and performance are nothing short of astonishing.

Its true measure, though, is in the using, and we have no doubt you will wisely become not only devoted to this knife but protective of it, as well.
