FORGE Ash &amp; Chrome is a K-tip chef&#8217;s knife, also called a bunka: a universal knife you use much like a gyuto, for vegetables, fish and boneless meat. It takes its name from the contrast between the rough forged top, the mirror-polished bevel and the dark patinated core.<\/p>\n<h2>Aogami No. 2 core, clad in 316L stainless steel<\/h2>\n<p>The blade has a wide core of Aogami No. 2 (blue paper steel) at 63.5 HRC, clad on both sides in 316L stainless steel. The rough dies of the power hammer leave a textured upper surface above the polished bevel. After fitting the handle, Jacob darkens the exposed core with a patina. The edge is sharpened on both sides and can be sharpened to a mirror finish.<\/p>\n<h2>Hainan Huanghuali handle<\/h2>\n<p>The octagonal wa handle is made entirely of Hainan Huanghuali. Jacob glues the tang about halfway into the handle, into a red sandalwood core that barely moves as humidity changes, so the tang stays firmly seated. Every handle is different: Jacob cuts the handles from one board, and the grain moves through the wood, so your handle will look close to the photos but not identical.<\/p>\n<h2>Specifications<\/h2>\n<ul>\n<li>Core steel: Aogami No. 2, 63.5 HRC<\/li>\n<li>Cladding: 316L stainless steel, both sides<\/li>\n<li>Shape: K-tip chef&#8217;s knife (bunka), double bevel<\/li>\n<li>Blade: 210 mm, heel to tip<\/li>\n<li>Handle: 135 mm, octagonal wa, Hainan Huanghuali with a red sandalwood core<\/li>\n<li>Overall length: 362 mm<\/li>\n<li>Weight: 200 g<\/li>\n<li>Blade marks: \u7c73\u5200 \/ RICEKNIFE and LINBECH, EDM engraved<\/li>\n<li>In the box: the knife and a certificate describing its name and story, the steel and its hardness<\/li>\n<li>Design: Jacob Bech and Shanru Lin<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2>Care<\/h2>\n<p>The cladding is stainless, but the Aogami core is carbon steel.
