American 10" Chef Knife Carbon Steel & Rosewood ~1930's 60's Butchery The blade was acid etched a blacksmith out of The blade was acid etched to bring out the striking contrast of the GoMai cladding against the darkened blade they come with a somewhat rough edge A convex face to a blade greatly increases a knife's performance as there is less sticking as there is on a flat face and the blade does not get thick behind the edge nearly as fast as with a flat faced blade This knife has been re ground and thinned behind the edge on a large 3 foot diameter Japanese water stone wheel (kaiten mizu toishi) and then resurfaced with a medium fine finish
