This is an extremely versatile knife that is a jack-of-all-trades worker and one of the single most important knives in a kitchen. Blade length on this knife comes in at 8.5 inches.  Long enough for most kitchen tasks but still nimble in hand.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOur Chef knife design can easily accommodate both a pinch grip and a full hold.  It is a good choice for those with larger hands or those who prefer a full hold on the handle.  Our design is also excellent for those who like a rocking motion while cutting.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"line-height: 1.4;\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eEvery one of our knives is numbered and unique. This NORA knife, number #1102, is a hybrid mix of wood and resin.  The wood is a beautiful, stabilized figured walnut and we cut and cast a bubbly pattern of white resin circles in the wood.  Its a playful design and we like the classic color combo.  \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eWood stabilization is an added feature that we offer with our knives.  Wood that is stabilized has been injected with a clear acrylic resin under a \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cspan color=\"#ff0000\"\u003evacuum process. Stabilization helps to minimize, if not eliminate, any cracking, warping, shrinkage and\/or expanding of the material. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003eStabilized wood will not absorb water and is generally impervious to oils.  The process helps to ensure your knife has a long lifespan in the kitchen. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe blade on this knife is composed of a high carbon 52100 steel.  52100 steel is a great all around choice for carbon steel as it is easily sharpened and the fine grain structure produces a very sharp edge. It is also an economical alternative to some of the more expensive Japanese carbon steels while offering similar benefits and a more hardy steel.  HRC hardness on this knife is at a solid 62. \u003cspan style=\"color: #f3f3f3;\"\u003eThis blade has been etched to help prevent rust.  The etch leaves the blade slightly darker with a somewhat rustic look.  Each blade will form its own markings and patina.  This is normal and by design.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAs this is a carbon steel, the blade will form a slight patina over time.  This is normal and is actually the mark of a beautifully used knife.  Please note, however, that a carbon knife does require more maintenance than its stainless steel counterpart, mainly that it must be washed or wiped clean immediately after each use to prevent unwanted rust.\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e{ Knife Details }\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMetal: O1 Carbon Steel\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBlade Length: 8.5 inches\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTotal Length: 13.25 inches\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHandle Material(s): Stabilized Figured Walnut, Urethane Resins, White G10 liner, Natural Micarta Pins\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eRockwell Hardness: 62\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eGrind Type: Full Flat Hybrid\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Nora Knives","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":1228478906395,"sku":"","price":365.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0344\/0381\/products\/20170922144412.jpg?v=1571438964","url":"https:\/\/noraknives.mom\/products\/chef-1101-52100-carbon-steel-teal-dots","provider":"Nora Knives","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
