Modern Chef LS180DM
$1,500.00
The special-edition Modern Chef LS180DM by Oliver Märtens is forged from a striking blade formula of damascus-clad ApexUltra steel with layer of pure nickel that reduces carbon diffusion away from the hard, razor-sharp, high-carbon edge. Tall, versatile, and balanced for all manner of daily meal preparation, Oliver crafts each knife by hand at his studio in Kassel, Germany.
Thin at the edge with a pointed tip for precise slices and detail work, the blade’s convex bevels are darkened with a forced-patina, and a forged texture gives each knife a unique finish. Ancient bog oak and brass complete a comfortable and attractive handle.
