A long, straight, and narrow blade ideal for slicing proteins in one long fluid motion with little restriction. With a minimal amount of flexibility and a small heel, you'll be able to keep your blade straight and achieve flat and even cuts of protein. Often called a carving knife.
Showcasing the beauty found in harsh, rugged conditions, the Olneya collection spotlights the dense, heavy wood of the Desert Ironwood tree.
Olneya features sleek and evocative blade profiles made from Nitro-V stainless steel, known for its long-lasting edge retention and high corrosion resistance. From this twisting tree, we've given the handles a lean and smooth shape, with a flat taper toward the center grip-point of the knife, and a broad oval base complemented by a carbon fiber inlay pin and G10 liner. The glittering chatoyance of rich and deep golden tones in the wood develops from natural stresses the tree is exposed to in its extreme (arid) and torrid environment.
With respect for the austere and mysterious wilderness where the Desert Ironwood tree grows, an Ironwood branch silhouette is engraved on the backside of the blade to illustrate Olneya's untamed elegance.
Made by Town Cutler, made in Reno NV.
The best sharpening tools for Japanese knives are leather strops and fine whetstones.
