Story
Created in collaboration with sought-after German knifemaker Oliver Märtens, this mid-size chef knife is designed to perform every cut throughout the kitchen with ease and grace. Modeled after Oliver's proven approach to culinary form and function, this exclusive build features a tall, triangular blade profile with needle-like tip and hand-sharpened edge to chop, slice, and dice without compromise. Every detail is accounted for, from contoured edges atop and behind the blade, to the heirloom fit of the faceted, brushed, solid brass ferule.
"Where utility converges with art,
inspiration is not far behind."
