This one makes a statement before you've even made a cut. A 230mm blade with a bold tanto tip, finished in a deep dark etch that turns the steel almost black and gives it real presence on the bench.

It's built from N690, a premium stainless steel with cobalt in the mix. It takes a fine edge, holds it through a heavy prep session, and resists rust and staining so it stays looking sharp as well as cutting sharp. The dark etched finish isn't just for looks either, it adds character that only gets better with age and use.

The tanto tip is the showpiece. That angular, reinforced point gives you precise control for fine work and detail cuts, with a strength most kitchen tips can't match. Pair it with the long 230mm edge and you've got a knife that handles everything from breaking down produce to clean, confident slicing.

The handle is a beauty. Amboyna burl, one of the most prized burls in the world for its fiery figure and depth, set against dense black ebony with a brass spacer drawing a clean line between the two. Hand shaped to sit balanced and natural in the hand.

Look after it A knife this good deserves looking after. For our high end kitchen knives we recommend pairing it with our knife wax and a leather carry case. The wax protects the dark etched finish and handle. The leather case keeps the edge safe whether it lives in a drawer or travels with you. A few minutes of care and a knife like this will outlast all of us.
