Slendigral Chef
My new Slender Integral chef's knives are a minor tweak on the integral knife concept that eliminates the large integral bolster which reduces overall weight, but retains the transitional flow of a forged, integral knife. The result is amazingly light and thin.
The blade is forged from 52100 (ball bearing) steel, ground very thin with a hand rubbed finish. The spacer is black G-10 and the handle is stabilized toasted curly maple. The blade finish is slightly muted and the handle is satin oil finished, giving the whole piece a subtly aged appearance.
The knife also comes with a handmade leather blade sleeve.
Blade length: 7.5", overall 13.25"
