The 'Velin' 8.5" Chef - Jute Micarta
Crafted to Perform. Built to Last a Lifetime.
This handmade 8.5" Velin chef knife brings together form and function in equal measure. Precision-ground from high-performance AEB-L stainless steel — a steel originally developed for razor blades — it offers exceptional sharpness, excellent toughness, and is straightforward to resharpen when the edge eventually dulls.
At the heart of the design is a contoured handle in durable Jute Micarta, paired with a Paper Micarta bolster featuring a thumb relief for the pinch grip. This provides both structural integrity and a smooth, natural transition between blade and handle. A rounded choil and softened spine further enhance comfort and control.
The result is a knife with excellent balance, confident handling, and a refined feel in use — designed for daily cooking and made to serve reliably for a lifetime.
