Damascus Chef's Knife

This ladder-pattern integral Chef's knife was made in 2011 as a custom order.  At the time, I had never used carbon fiber before and wasn't exactly sure it I'd like the way it looked against the classic Damascus steel blade.  I liked it. The woven pattern of the carbon fiber pairs with the blade pattern like a steak and a good wine.  I also love the monochrome look of a colorless knife.

Blade is just over 6", making it a great general-use blade in the kitchen.
