Something about these integral bolster knives feels right, they are very me as it were. Blacked out with smooth dark ku and stone finished bevels, bog oak to match the moody finish. Transitions which are only possible forging and filed by hand to tidy. The core steel is c105 which is very clean old stock from Achim witrz, and the wrought iron is dirty enough for nice details in the polish but clean enough to stay together well. These feel rustic yet refined, robust but nimble, I quite like them.
This knife has its bevels polished out using natural whetstones, This process means the upkeep of the blade should be significantly easier especially if you know your way around a whetstone.Flattening the bevels and refining them can be a chore in the initial stages so I’ve done the groundwork for you so it’ll be nice to take to the stones for your polishing pleasure.
These knives are made from carbon steels not stainless steel, this allows them to take a fine edge fairly easily but has a downside that they will rust not given the proper care and attention. Carbon steel forms a patina which can be very beautiful and acts as a protective layer slowing further corrosion.
