It is the difference between a knife that lasts years and one that lasts decades.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eShort Description\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis handmade 12.5-inch carbon steel chef knife features a razor-sharp 7.5-inch blade, full-tang construction, and a unique resin handle that makes every knife one-of-a-kind.

This creates a stronger, better-balanced knife that is more durable than partial-tang alternatives — the professional standard for serious kitchen knives.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eIs carbon steel better than stainless for a chef knife?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eCarbon steel takes and holds a sharper edge than most stainless steels and sharpens back quickly on a whetstone.
