This knife was made by Tobias as part of a course as a showpiece. The focus of the work is on the performance of the chef's knife. Despite the size of the knife, the double-sided S-grinding ensures a relatively light blade. Together with the deep etching of the Damascus steel, this cut ensures a very good "food release".
