Just in is the latest extraordinary Salem Straub chef knife, for which we have but one photo for now, forged from yet another stunning mosaic damascus pattern of Salem’s creation. Sporting his superb compound ‘S-grind’ bevel geometry, with a long, slim, 260mm profile, head-turning pinwheels of 1084 & 15n20 alloys, a razor-sharp edge, and full-distal taper to a fine tip for detail work, Salem nails the big picture, and every detail. Forged integral bolsters showing each nuance of the steel’s many intricate layers begin a beautifully shaped handle, a ring of heirloom-fit bronze transitioning the fingers to a sculpted piece of striking black & white ebony. The retention bolt of the handle’s mechanical construction is visible via a polished, flush steel cap at the handle’s butt.
